A nurse is assessing a client who is receiving magnesium sulfate to treat pre-eclampsia.
Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?

Rationale:

A. Take at different times of the day: Consistency in timing is typically recommended for hormone therapy to maintain stable hormone levels.

B. Take an extra dose if missed a day: It's not advisable to take extra doses of hormone therapy if a dose is missed without consulting a healthcare provider.

C. Prevents osteoporotic fractures: Menopausal hormone therapy, particularly estrogen therapy, can help prevent osteoporotic fractures by maintaining bone density.

D. Prevents from having a cerebral hemorrhage: While hormone therapy may have cardiovascular benefits, including a reduced risk of stroke, it is not primarily indicated for preventing cerebral hemorrhage.

A. "If suspicion of abuse exists then reporting is mandatory."

Rationale:

A. "If suspicion of abuse exists then reporting is mandatory.": Reporting suspected child abuse is mandatory for healthcare workers when there is a reasonable suspicion or belief that a child is being abused or neglected. This is to ensure the safety and well-being of the child.

B. "If the potential abuser commits to stopping the abuse, health care workers are not required to report it.": Regardless of the abuser's commitment to stop, healthcare workers are still required to report suspected abuse.

C. "Evidence must exist prior to reporting.": While evidence can strengthen a case, suspicion alone is sufficient to trigger the mandatory reporting of child abuse.

D. "I don't want to defame someone if the report is false.": Reporting suspected abuse is a legal obligation, and defaming someone is not the purpose of reporting. Authorities are responsible for investigating the validity of the report.
