A nurse is preparing to administer benztropine 2 mg IM every 12 hr to a client who is experiencing an extrapyramidal reaction. Available is benztropine 1 mg/mL for injection. 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) "I haven't gotten my period yet, and all my friends have theirs."

While the concern about not having gotten her period yet is a valid one, it's a common experience during adolescence. Variability in the timing of puberty is normal, and addressing this concern might involve providing reassurance and education about the natural range of development.

B) "There's a big pimple on my face, and I worry that everyone will notice it."

While concerns about physical appearance are common during adolescence, they are less urgent in terms of emotional and psychological well-being. Addressing body image issues is important, but the statement about lack of social acceptance and reciprocal liking indicates potentially deeper emotional challenges.

C) "None of the kids at this school like me, and I don't like them either."

Explanation:

Adolescence is a time of significant emotional and social development. The statement about not being liked by other students and not liking them in return indicates potential social isolation and difficulties in forming positive relationships. Adolescents often seek social acceptance and peer relationships are crucial for their well-being and development.

D) "My parents treat me like a baby sometimes."

This statement suggests a common parent-adolescent dynamic where there might be conflicts about independence and autonomy. While these feelings are valid, they don't necessarily reflect a higher priority concern related to social isolation and peer relationships.

A. The client is unwilling to accept that treatment is needed.

This alone may not be sufficient to keep the client under a 72-hour hold. While a person's refusal to accept treatment may indicate a need for care, it might not meet the criteria for involuntary commitment unless there is an immediate danger to the individual or others.

B. The client states that she does not like the neighbor.

Disliking a neighbor is not typically a sufficient reason to place someone under a 72-hour psychiatric hold. The criteria for involuntary commitment usually revolve around a person's potential to harm themselves or others due to their mental state.

C. The client is a danger to herself or others.

Explanation:

In many jurisdictions, a 72-hour psychiatric hold, also known as an involuntary psychiatric hold or emergency detention, allows mental health professionals to detain a person who is considered a danger to themselves or others due to their mental condition. This is done to ensure the safety of the individual and those around them. The hold provides a brief period during which a psychiatric assessment can be conducted to determine the appropriate course of action for the person's mental health treatment.

D. The client states that she plans to move out of the state immediately.

While this statement might raise concerns about the client's stability, it generally would not meet the criteria for a 72-hour hold unless there is clear evidence that the client's immediate move would pose a risk to their own safety or the safety of others. The hold is more focused on imminent danger rather than potential future actions.
