A nurse is caring for a client in a clinic who has foul-smelling urine, a low-grade fever of 37.7°C (100°F), and pain with urination. Which of the following should the nurse expect the health care provider to order? (Select all that apply.)

Choice A reason: pH 7.30 with elevated HCO3- and PaCO2 suggests compensated respiratory acidosis, not typical for chronic kidney disease.

Choice B reason: pH 7.55 with elevated HCO3- and low PaCO2 suggests metabolic alkalosis, which is not typical for chronic kidney disease.

Choice C reason: pH 7.25 with decreased HCO3- and PaCO2 suggests metabolic acidosis, which is expected in chronic kidney disease due to the accumulation of acids.

Choice D reason: pH 7.50 with low HCO3- and PaCO2 suggests compensated metabolic alkalosis, which is not typical for chronic kidney disease.

Step 1: The total amount of digoxin required per dose is 125 mcg. We need to convert this to mg because the available tablets are in mg. We know that 1 mg = 1000 mcg, so 125 mcg = 125 ÷ 1000 mg = 0.125 mg.

Step 2: Each tablet contains 0.25 mg of digoxin.

Step 3: To find out how many tablets are needed, we divide the total amount required by the amount in each tablet. So, (0.125 mg ÷ 0.25 mg/tablet).

Step 4: The result is 0.5 tablets.

So, the nurse should administer 0.5 tablets per dose. This is already rounded to the nearest tenth.
