A doctor ordered amoxicillin 2 gm/day PO divided into two doses.

The nurse is preparing to administer the first dose.

The amount available is tablets.

Use a leading zero if it applies.

Do not use a trailing zero.

Choice A rationale

Dysphagia, or difficulty swallowing, is not a common manifestation of acoustic neuroma. It is more commonly associated with conditions affecting the throat or esophagus.

Choice B rationale

Apraxia, a motor disorder caused by damage to the brain, is not typically associated with acoustic neuroma. It affects the ability to perform coordinated movements.

Choice C rationale

Vertigo, or a sensation of spinning, is a common manifestation of acoustic neuroma. The tumor affects the vestibular nerve, which is responsible for balance and spatial orientation.

Choice D rationale

Diplopia, or double vision, is not a common symptom of acoustic neuroma. It is more often associated with conditions affecting the muscles or nerves controlling eye movement.

Choice A rationale

Avoiding the use of insect repellent on the skin and clothing is not recommended. Insect repellents containing DEET are effective in preventing tick bites, which can transmit Lyme disease. The toxicity of DEET is minimal when used as directed.

Choice B rationale

Avoiding heavily wooded areas and areas with thick underbrush is recommended to reduce the risk of tick exposure. Ticks that carry Lyme disease are commonly found in these environments.

Choice C rationale

Wearing dark clothing is not recommended as it makes it harder to spot ticks. Light-colored clothing is preferable as it allows for easier detection of ticks.

Choice D rationale

Wearing long-sleeved tops and long pants with closed shoes is recommended to minimize skin exposure and reduce the risk of tick bites.

Choice E rationale

Reporting to the primary health care provider immediately for a blood test if a tick is found is not necessary. The presence of a tick does not immediately indicate Lyme disease. Instead, the tick should be removed promptly, and the area should be monitored for signs of infection.

Choice F rationale

Bathing after being in an infested area and inspecting the body carefully for ticks is recommended. This helps in early detection and removal of ticks, reducing the risk of Lyme disease.
