Correct Answer is ["0.5"]

Explanation

Step 1 is to determine the amount of medication needed per dose. The prescription is for 250 mg of metronidazole, but the available tablets are 500 mg each. So, the calculation is 250 mg ÷ 500 mg/tablet. The result is 0.5 tablet per dose.

A. The uterine fundus is 2 cm above the umbilicus B. The client urinates 30 ml/h C. The client does not feel the urge to urinate D. The bladder is distended upon palpation .

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

Choice A rationale
The position of the uterine fundus is not directly related to the client’s ability to void effectively.
Choice B rationale
A client urinating 30 ml/h indicates that the client is able to void effectively. This is the minimum acceptable urine output in an adult client.
Choice C rationale

Not feeling the urge to urinate could indicate a problem such as urinary retention.
Choice D rationale
A distended bladder upon palpation could indicate urinary retention, which means the client is not voiding effectively.
