A child with peripheral edema who weighs 44 pounds receives a prescription for furosemide 2 mg/kg intravenously every 12 hours. The medication is available at 10 mg/mL. How many mL should the nurse administer? (Enter numeric value only)

Choice A: Yellow-tinged sputum is not a serious adverse effect of linezolid. It may indicate an infection or inflammation in the respiratory tract, but it does not require immediate attention from the health care provider.

Choice B: Nausea and headache are common side effects of linezolid. They are usually mild and self-limiting, and they can be managed with supportive measures such as hydration, rest, and analgesics.

Choice C: Watery diarrhea is a sign of pseudomembranous colitis, a potentially life-threatening complication of linezolid. It is caused by an overgrowth of Clostridium difficile bacteria in the colon, which produce toxins that damage the intestinal mucosa. It can lead to dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, sepsis, and perforation. The nurse should report this finding to the health care provider immediately and stop the linezolid infusion.

Choice D: Increased fatigue is not a specific or serious adverse effect of linezolid. It may be related to the underlying infection, anemia, or other factors. It does not require urgent intervention from the health care provider.

Choice A: An abdominal binder can be worn daily to reduce the protrusion is not a correct explanation for the nurse to provide, as this is not an effective or recommended method to treat a hernia. This is a distractor choice.

Choice B: This hernia is a normal variation that resolves without treatment is a correct explanation for the nurse to provide, as this refers to an umbilical hernia, which is a common and harmless condition in infants that usually disappears by age 2. Therefore, this is the correct choice.

Choice C: The quarter should be secured with an elastic bandage wrap is not a correct explanation for the nurse to provide, as this is a folk remedy that has no scientific basis and can cause skin irritation and infection. This is another distractor choice.

Choice D: Restrictive clothing will be adequate to help the hernia go away is not a correct explanation for the nurse to provide, as this is not a proven or safe way to treat a hernia. This is another distractor choice.
