4. A nurse is preparing to administer diphenhydramine 20 mg orally to a 6-year-old child who
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
has difficulty swallowing pills. Available is diphenhydramine 12.5 mg/5 mL oral syrup. Which

f of the following images shows the correct # of mL the nurse should administer? (Round the
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
f answer to the nearest whole number.) f f f f f
Click on the syringe that has 8 mL of med. f f f f f f f f f
20 mg x (5mL/12.5mg) = 8 mL

5. A nurse is caring for a 6-year-old child who has a new prescription for cefoxitin 80
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
f mg/kg/day administered intravenously every 6 hour. The child weighs 20 kg. How much
f f f f f f f f f f f f
f cefoxitin should the nurse administer with each dose? (Round the answer to the nearest whole
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
So it says each dose for the final answer, but we are given 80 mg/kg/day.
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
80 x 20 = (dose is given every 6 hours a day) =400 mg
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
Rationale: 80 mg x 20 kg = 1,600 → 1,600/4 x day (q6h) = 400 mg

a. Serum albumin 3 g/dL f f f
, b. Total lymphocyte count 2400 mm3 f f f f
c. HCT 42% f
d. HGB 16g/dL f
Rationale: Albumin in low. Normal range is 3.5 to 5.5 g/dL. Low albumin places the
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
client at risk forpoor wound healing. The other lab values are within normal limits.

the nurse take? Chapter 27 Vitals signs page 244
f f f f f f f f f
a. Apply the cuff above the client‟s antecubital fossa.
f f f f f f f
b. Use a cuff with a width that is about 60% of the client's arm circumference. - width of the
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
cuff should be 40 % of arm circumference
f f f f f f f f
c. How the clients sit with his arm resting above the level of his heart. - MUST BE AT
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
HEART LEVEL

d. Release the pressure on the client's arm 5 to 6 mm per second. - pressure release should
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
not be more than 2 to 3 mm hg per second
f f f f f f f f f f f
Rationale: ATI FUNDA says 40% of the arm circumference pg. 139. Release the pressure
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
f no faster than 2 to 3 mm Hg per second. Apply the BP cuff 2.5 cm (1 in) above the
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
f antecubital space with the brachial artery in line with the marking on the cuff.Apply the
