Correct Answer is A

Explanation

Choice A: Gentamicin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic that can cause nephrotoxicity. Nephrotoxicity refers to kidney damage and can be demonstrated by rising serum creatinine levels. A creatinine level of 1.4 mg/dL is higher than the normal range and may indicate impaired kidney function 2.

Choice B is wrong because Creatinine 0.3 mg/dL is not an answer because it falls within the normal range for creatinine levels.

Choice C is wrong because BUN 12 mg/dL is not an answer because it falls within the normal range for BUN levels.

Choice D is wrong because BUN 6 mg/dL is not an answer because it falls within the normal range for BUN levels.

A. Your child should keep the bicycle at least 3 feet from the curb while riding in the street. B. Your child should walk the bicycle through intersections. C. Your child should ride the bicycle against the flow of traffic. D. Your child's feet should be 3 to 6 inches off the ground when seated on the bicycle.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

Your child should walk the bicycle through intersections.

Walking the bicycle through intersections can help increase the child’s visibility and reduce the risk of accidents.

Choice A is wrong because it’s important for the child to ride as far to the right as possible, not 3 feet from the curb.

Choice C is wrong because the child should always ride with the flow of traffic, not against it.

Choice D is wrong because when seated on the bicycle, the child’s feet should be able to touch the ground.
