A nurse is caring for a 1-month-old infant who weighs 3500 g and is prescribed a dose of cephazolin 50 mg/kg by intermittent IV bolus three times daily. How many mg should the nurse administer per dose? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero)

A. Clear the respiratory tract: This is the correct action. Clearing the newborn's respiratory tract is the priority immediately after delivery to ensure adequate breathing. The nurse should suction the mouth and nose with a bulb syringe to remove any mucus or amniotic fluid and facilitate effective respiration.
B. Cut the umbilical cord: Cutting the umbilical cord is an important step in newborn care, but it is typically done after ensuring the newborn's immediate respiratory needs are met. The priority immediately after delivery is to establish effective breathing.
C. Stimulate the infant to cry: While stimulating the infant to cry can help clear the airways and establish effective breathing, it should be done concurrently with clearing the respiratory tract. Therefore, clearing the respiratory tract takes precedence over stimulating the infant to cry.
D. Dry the infant off and cover the head: Drying the infant and covering the head are important steps in newborn care to prevent heat loss and maintain thermal regulation. However, these actions can be done after ensuring the newborn's respiratory tract is clear and breathing is established.

A. Pain: The client's flinching when the nurse palpates his abdomen suggests that he may be experiencing pain. Pain can cause behavioral changes in older adults, including withdrawal, decreased verbal communication, and altered facial expressions. The client's inability to verbally communicate but ability to nod and smile in response to questions further supports the possibility of pain affecting his behavior.
B. Confusion: While confusion could be a factor contributing to the client's behavior, the flinching in response to palpation of the abdomen indicates a physical discomfort that is more indicative of pain rather than solely confusion.
C. Language barrier: A language barrier might impede effective communication, but it does not directly explain the client's flinching in response to abdominal palpation. Additionally, the client's ability to nod and smile suggests some level of understanding and communication, albeit limited.
D. Difficulty hearing: Difficulty hearing could affect the client's ability to respond to verbal cues, but it does not explain the physical response of flinching when his abdomen is palpated. The client's non-verbal responses also indicate some level of hearing or understanding of communication.
