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 reason: Increasing the intake of dark green leafy vegetables while taking warfarin is not a good instruction because it can decrease the effectiveness of warfarin. Dark green leafy vegetables are rich in vitamin K, which is a coagulation factor that counteracts the anticoagulant effect of warfarin.

Choice B reason: Eating two servings of dark green leafy vegetables daily and continuing for 30 days after warfarin therapy is completed is not a good instruction because it can cause bleeding complications. Dark green leafy vegetables are rich in vitamin K, which is a coagulation factor that counteracts the anticoagulant effect of warfarin. Stopping warfarin while continuing to eat high amounts of vitamin K can increase the risk of clot formation and thromboembolism.

Choice D reason: Avoiding eating any foods that contain any vitamin K because it is an antagonist of warfarin is not a good instruction because it can cause bleeding complications. Dark green leafy vegetables are rich in vitamin K, which is a coagulation factor that counteracts the anticoagulant effect of warfarin. Eliminating vitamin K from the diet can increase the sensitivity to warfarin and cause excessive bleeding and bruising.

Choice A: Assessing pupillary response to light hourly is not related to dopamine administration. Dopamine does not affect the pupils or the cranial nerves that control them.

Choice B: Initiating seizure precautions is not necessary for a client receiving dopamine. Dopamine does not lower the seizure threshold or cause convulsions.

Choice C: Measuring urinary output every hour is an important intervention for a client receiving dopamine. Dopamine increases blood pressure and cardiac output, which improves renal perfusion and urine production. Urinary output is an indicator of the effectiveness of dopamine therapy and renal function.

Choice D: Monitoring serum potassium frequently is not directly related to dopamine administration. Dopamine does not affect potassium levels or cause hyperkalemia or hypokalemia. However, potassium levels may be affected by other factors such as fluid balance, renal function, and medications.
