A child who weighs 25 kg receives a prescription for isoniazid 10 mg/kg/day by mouth once a day.

The bottle is labeled "isoniazid Oral Solution, USP 50 mg per 5 mL.”. How many mL should the nurse administer? (Enter numerical value only.

If rounding is required, round to the nearest whole number.)

Choice A rationale

While bleeding tendencies can be a concern in newborns, especially if there are clotting disorders, it is not the immediate priority in the first minutes after birth. Immediate interventions focus on establishing effective respirations and ensuring adequate oxygenation.

Choice B rationale

Fluid balance is important for newborns, particularly in the context of hydration and potential complications like hypovolemia. However, the most immediate concern after birth is ensuring the newborn can breathe adequately to deliver oxygen to the body's tissues.

Choice C rationale

Heat loss is a critical issue for newborns, as they are at high risk for hypothermia due to their large surface area relative to body weight and limited ability to generate heat. Preventing heat loss helps to stabilize the newborn's temperature and supports overall physiological stability, including respiratory function.

Choice D rationale

Hypoglycemia can be a concern in newborns, particularly those who are small for gestational age or have other risk factors. However, the most immediate concern in the first minutes after birth is ensuring adequate breathing to support oxygenation and prevent complications related to hypoxia. .

Choice A rationale

Checking serum human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) levels is the appropriate action. hCG levels can help determine the viability of the pregnancy. Decreasing hCG levels may indicate a non-viable pregnancy, while increasing levels suggest a viable pregnancy.

Choice B rationale

Verifying the date of the last menstrual cycle is important but not the priority action in this scenario. While it can provide information on gestational age, it does not directly address the concern of vaginal bleeding.

Choice C rationale

Inquiring about the last occurrence of intercourse is not directly related to assessing the cause of vaginal bleeding. It may provide additional history but does not address the immediate concern.

Choice D rationale

Repeating a urine pregnancy test is not necessary in this context. The client is already known to be pregnant, and a urine test will not provide additional information regarding the cause of the bleeding.
