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: When the client has ankle edema is not the most important time for the nurse to assess DTRs, as this is a common finding in pregnancy and does not indicate a neurological or vascular problem. This is a distractor choice.

Choice B: Within the first trimester of pregnancy is not the most important time for the nurse to assess DTRs, as this is a routine assessment that can be done at any time during pregnancy and does not reflect any specific risk or complication. This is another distractor choice.

Choice C: If the client has an elevated blood pressure is the most important time for the nurse to assess DTRs, as this can indicate preeclampsia, a serious condition that can cause seizures, stroke, and organ damage. DTRs can help detect hyperreflexia, which is a sign of increased intracranial pressure and impending eclampsia. Therefore, this is the correct choice.

Choice D: During admission to labor and delivery is not the most important time for the nurse to assess DTRs, as this is a standard assessment that can be done at any stage of labor and does not signify any urgent or emergent situation. This is another distractor choice.

Choice A: Inspecting feet every month for ingrown nails, cuts, and calluses is not a statement that indicates understanding, as this is not frequent enough for a client with diabetes who may have impaired sensation and circulation in their feet. The recommended frequency is daily or at least weekly. This is an incorrect choice.

Choice B: Arranging diet schedule around three regular meals a day is not a statement that indicates understanding, as this may not be adequate for a client with diabetes who needs to balance their carbohydrate intake and blood glucose levels throughout the day. The recommended schedule is to have smaller and more frequent meals and snacks. This is another incorrect choice.

Choice C: Getting an eye examination with an ophthalmologist annually is a statement that indicates understanding, as this can help detect and prevent diabetic retinopathy, which can cause vision loss and blindness. Therefore, this is the correct choice.

Choice D: Using salt, herbs, and spices will improve the flavor of foods is not a statement that indicates understanding, as this may not be healthy for a client with diabetes who needs to limit their sodium intake and avoid potential interactions between herbs and medications. The recommended strategy is to use low-sodium seasonings and natural flavors. This is another incorrect choice.
