Correct Answer is A

Explanation

A. Encouraging physical activity during the day has been shown to improve mood and reduce symptoms of depression by increasing endorphin levels and promoting a sense of well-being.

B. Identifying and scheduling alternative group activities for the client may be helpful in reducing social isolation and improving mood but should not replace physical activity.
C. Discouraging the client from expressing feelings of anger is not appropriate, as it may suppress emotions and hinder therapeutic communication. Instead, the nurse should encourage the client to express and explore their emotions in a healthy manner.

D. Keeping a bright light on in the client's room at night may disrupt sleep patterns and exacerbate symptoms of depression, as individuals with depression often have disturbances in their sleep-wake cycle.

Correct Answer is ["10"]

Explanation

First, we need to determine how many milligrams (mg) are in each milliliter (mL) of the solution.

The available methylphenidate oral solution has a concentration of 10 mg per 5 mL.

To find out how many milligrams are in 1 mL of the solution, we divide 10 mg by 5 mL: 10 mg / 5 mL = 2 mg/mL

The child's prescription is for 40 mg per day, divided into two doses. So, each dose should contain:

40 mg / 2 doses = 20 mg per dose 2mg=1ml

20mg= 20*1/2= 10ml

Therefore, the nurse should administer 10 mL of methylphenidate oral solution per dose
