A nurse is preparing to administer amoxicillin 80 mg/kg/day to divide equally every 8 hr to a preschooler who weighs 33 lb. Available is amoxicillin oral 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.)

A. Wearing a mask when visiting the child despite having had chickenpox is incorrect. If the guardian has already had chickenpox or received the varicella vaccine, they are immune and do not need to wear a mask when visiting the child. However, individuals who are immunocompromised or have never had chickenpox should take precautions.

B. Taking the child to the playroom after all lesions have crusted is correct. Varicella (chickenpox) is contagious until all lesions have crusted over, which usually takes about 5 to 7 days. Once crusting has occurred, the virus is no longer actively transmissible, and the child can safely interact with others.

C. Expecting the child to remain on bedrest for 3 days is incorrect. Bedrest is not a requirement for varicella unless the child has complications such as a high fever or severe discomfort. Activity should be based on the child's energy levels and overall condition.

D. Waiting to bathe the child until the crusts have fallen off is incorrect. Bathing can be done while the child still has crusted lesions, as long as the water is lukewarm and soap is mild. Oatmeal or baking soda baths can help soothe itching and prevent infection.

1. Steatorrhea
   Unrelated to diagnosis
   Steatorrhea, or fatty stools, is a symptom related to cystic fibrosis, specifically due to pancreatic insufficiency. It is not related to the acute issue of Streptococcus pneumonia infection but rather a chronic symptom of cystic fibrosis.
2. Barrel chest
   Unrelated to diagnosis
   A barrel chest is a long-term manifestation of cystic fibrosis caused by chronic lung damage. It is not a sign of worsening pneumonia but rather a physical characteristic of the patient's chronic condition.
3. Respiratory rate 32/min
   Indication of potential worsening of the condition
   An increased respiratory rate is an indication of respiratory distress or worsening of the pneumonia, particularly as the body attempts to compensate for inadequate oxygenation.
4. WBC count 17,000/mm3
   Indication of potential worsening of the condition
   An elevated white blood cell (WBC. count suggests ongoing infection or inflammation. Given the patient's history of pneumonia, this is likely an indication that the infection may not be fully controlled.
5. Hemoptysis 300 mL
   Indication of potential worsening of the condition
   Hemoptysis, or coughing up blood, especially in such a significant volume, is a serious sign of worsening lung conditions, possibly due to severe infection or complications like a pulmonary hemorrhage. This requires immediate attention.
6. Oxygen saturation 45% on 1 L oxygen via nasal cannula
   Indication of potential worsening of the condition
   A low oxygen saturation of 45% is critically low and indicates severe hypoxemia, suggesting that the patient’s respiratory function is deteriorating and more intensive intervention may be needed, such as mechanical ventilation.
