A nurse is caring for a client who is on bed rest.
The nurse should recognize that which of the following findings is a complication of immobility?

Choice A rationale:

The prescription for Levothyroxine 75 mcg PO daily at 0600 does not require clarification. It provides clear instructions for the medication, including the drug name, dosage, route, and timing. The administration time (0600) is specific, allowing the nurse to administer the medication accurately.

Choice B rationale:

The prescription for Digoxin 250 PO daily contains an error. The dosage (250) is missing the unit of measurement (e.g., mcg or mg). Without the unit, it is impossible to accurately administer the medication. This prescription needs clarification from the prescriber to ensure safe and precise administration.

Choice C rationale:

The prescription for Acetaminophen 650 mg PO Q6 hours does not require clarification. It provides clear instructions for the medication, including the drug name, dosage (650 mg), route (PO), and frequency (every 6 hours). The dosing interval is appropriate and within the normal range for acetaminophen administration.

Choice D rationale:

The prescription for Ceftriaxone 1 g IV Q 24 hours does not require clarification. It provides clear instructions for the medication, including the drug name, dosage (1 g), route (IV), and frequency (every 24 hours). The dosing interval is appropriate for this antibiotic and allows for effective treatment of infections.

Choice A rationale:

The anterior fontanel is open in an 8-month-old infant. The anterior fontanel, located at the top of the baby's head where the skull bones have not yet fused, typically closes between 12 to 18 months of age. It is a normal finding in an 8-month-old infant.

Choice B rationale:

The posterior fontanel closes earlier than the anterior fontanel, usually within the first few months of life. It is a smaller diamond-shaped area located at the back of the baby's head. It is not expected to be open in an 8-month-old infant.

Choice C rationale:

Molding refers to the shaping of the fetal head during passage through the birth canal. It can cause temporary changes in the shape of the baby's skull. By 8 months of age, molding is not an expected finding as the skull bones have had time to return to their normal shape.

Choice D rationale:

Both fontanels being the same size is not a typical finding. The anterior fontanel is larger than the posterior fontanel, and their sizes are proportional. Any significant deviation from this proportion could indicate abnormal skull development and should be further assessed.
