A nurse is assessing military personnel who have experienced combat and are diagnosed with posttraumatic stress disorder. Which

Sveta_85 [38]

Client safety is the priority. Increased use of opioids and stating "it is not worth it" can be considered suicidal. A client who increased lorazepam intake requires follow up, but this client is not the priority. Increasing benzodiazepine will cause fatigue, so afternoon naps are expected. Increasing the frequency of visits to a therapist are encouraged; there are no immediate concerns with seeing a therapist more often. Avoiding alcohol with posttraumatic stress disorder is encouraged; however, there's nothing immediately concerning with an adult having one glass of wine with supper.

a nurse is caring for an infant who has been prescribed a one-time dose of ceftriaxone (rocephin) 50 mg/kg im. the infant weighs

RideAnS [48]

The nurse should administer 0.8 mL ceftriaxone IM.

<h3>How to calculate the value?</h3>

Determine the infant's weight in kg: 2.2 lb / x kg

= weight in lb / 1 kg; 2.2 lb / x kg = 17.6 lb / 1 kg.

Cross multiply and x = 8 kg

Find total of one-time dose:

Amount prescribed x kg weight (mg x kg)

= total daily dose; 50 mg x 8 kg = 400 mg

What is the dose needed?

Dose needed = Desired; Desired = 400 mg

What is the dose available?

Dose available = Have; Have = 500 mg

Set up an equation using knowledge about basic equivalents.

Desired x Quantity / Have

= Amount to be given; 400 mg x 1 mL / 500 mg = x mL; 400 x 1

= 400 ÷ 500 = 0.8 mL

Cefaclor 250 mg capsules can be ordered in a bottle of 100 capsules. The maximum inventory level is 250 capsules and the minimum

mote1985 [20]

Answer:

The bottles of capsules needed is 200 capsules

Explanation:

Given;

the maximum inventory level, = 250 capsules

minimum inventory level, = 50 capsules

current inventory = 25

Since the current inventory is 25 capsules which is below the minimum inventory level.

bottles of capsules needed = 2 x 100 capsules = 200 capsules

Check: After the order the current inventory level = 225 capsules which is below the maximum level of 250 capsules.

Also, more cannot be ordered since an additional order of 100 capsules will make the total exceed 250 capsules.
