A nurse is preparing to administer buspirone 7.5 mg PO. The amount available is buspirone 15 mg/tablet. How many tablets should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is ["0.5"]

Formula: Dose prescribed ÷ Dose available × 1 tablet = Number of tablets

Calculation:

7.5mg÷15mg×1=0.5tablet.

The nurse should administer 0.5 tablet to provide the prescribed dose.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A. Passive personality: This is not protective. Passivity may increase susceptibility to peer pressure and addictive behaviors.

B. Single status: Single status is neutral and does not inherently protect against addiction. Some evidence suggests strong social connections, often found in relationships, act as protective factors.

C. Positive self-image: Positive self-image enhances resilience, reduces the likelihood of engaging in risky behaviors, and supports healthy coping mechanisms.

D. Being a parent: While being a parent may motivate some to avoid addiction, it is not consistently protective since stress related to parenting could also lead to substance use in some cases.

Correct Answer is {"dropdown-group-1":"A","dropdown-group-2":"A"}

Explanation

Correct answers: The client is at highest risk for developing bleeding as evidenced by the client’s platelet’s count.

I: Bleeding- The client is at the highest risk for bleeding due to their critically low platelet count (thrombocytopenia) of 35,000/mm³. Platelets are essential for blood clotting, and levels this low significantly increase the risk of spontaneous bleeding.

II: Platelet count- The platelet count is a direct indicator of the client’s bleeding risk. Alcohol use disorder often leads to thrombocytopenia due to bone marrow suppression, splenic sequestration, or liver dysfunction.
