A nurse is preparing to administer amoxicillin 350 mg orally.

The available amoxicillin is 250 mg per 5 mL. How many mL should the nurse administer?

Choice A rationale

Negligence refers to conduct that falls below the standard established by law for the protection of others against unreasonable risk of harm. A nurse leaving her shift early without notifying the charge nurse could be considered negligent if it results in harm to a patient.

Choice B rationale

Battery refers to the intentional and offensive or harmful touching of another person without their consent. This does not apply to the scenario provided.

Choice C rationale

Slander involves making false spoken statements that damage a person’s reputation. This does not apply to the scenario provided.

Choice D rationale

Libel involves making false written statements that damage a person’s reputation. This does not apply to the scenario provided.

Choice A rationale

Propranolol is sometimes used to prevent migraines, so a history of migraines would not typically be a contraindication.

Choice B rationale

Hypothyroidism is not typically a contraindication for propranolol. However, propranolol can affect the metabolism of thyroid hormones and may mask signs of hyperthyroidism.

Choice C rationale

Propranolol is often used to treat hypertension, so a history of hypertension would not typically be a contraindication.

Choice D rationale

Propranolol is a non-selective beta-blocker, which means it blocks beta receptors in both the heart and the lungs. This can potentially cause bronchoconstriction and exacerbate asthma symptoms, so it should be used with caution in patients with a history of bronchial asthma.
