A nurse is preparing to administer amoxicillin 500 mg PO four times a day to a client. The amount available is amoxicillin suspension 250 mg/5 mL. How many mL should the nurse administer per dose?

(Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

Choice A reason: Low-protein, low-potassium diet

A low-protein, low-potassium diet is not typically recommended for acute glomerulonephritis. While protein intake may need to be moderated to reduce the workload on the kidneys, potassium restriction is usually not necessary unless there is hyperkalemia (high potassium levels) present. The primary dietary focus should be on managing fluid and sodium intake to control edema and hypertension.

Choice B reason: Regular diet, no added salt

A regular diet with no added salt is a step in the right direction but may not be sufficient for managing acute glomerulonephritis with significant edema. Sodium restriction is crucial to help reduce fluid retention and control blood pressure. Therefore, a more stringent low-sodium diet is often necessary.

Choice C reason: Low-carbohydrate, low-protein diet

A low-carbohydrate, low-protein diet is not appropriate for managing acute glomerulonephritis. Carbohydrate intake does not directly impact kidney function in this context, and protein intake should be moderated rather than severely restricted. The focus should be on sodium and fluid management.

Choice D reason: Low-sodium, fluid-restricted diet

A low-sodium, fluid-restricted diet is the most appropriate choice for a client with acute glomerulonephritis and peripheral edema. Reducing sodium intake helps to minimize fluid retention and control blood pressure, while fluid restriction helps to prevent further edema and manage the workload on the kidneys. This dietary approach is essential for managing the symptoms and complications associated with acute glomerulonephritis.

Choice A reason: Eating a snack half an hour before playing soccer is a good practice for children with type 1 diabetes. Physical activity can lower blood glucose levels, and having a snack beforehand helps prevent hypoglycemia. This statement indicates that the child understands the importance of managing blood glucose levels during exercise.

Choice B reason: My morning blood glucose should be between 90 and 130 is a correct statement regarding target blood glucose levels for children with type 1 diabetes. However, this statement alone does not indicate a comprehensive understanding of diabetes management, as it only addresses one aspect of blood glucose monitoring.

Choice C reason: I should not take my regular insulin when I am sick is incorrect. Children with type 1 diabetes should continue taking their insulin even when they are sick, as illness can cause blood glucose levels to rise. They may need to adjust their insulin dosage, but stopping insulin altogether can lead to dangerous complications like diabetic ketoacidosis.

Choice D reason: I can store unopened bottles of insulin in the freezer is incorrect. Insulin should be stored in the refrigerator, not the freezer. Freezing insulin can damage its effectiveness. Unopened insulin should be kept at a temperature between 36°F and 46°F (2°C to 8°C).
