A nurse is preparing to administer carbamazepine suspension 150 mg via NG tube every 6 hr. The amount available is 100 mg/5 mL. How many mL should the nurse administer with each dose?

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

Choice A rationale:

8 oz of fruit yogurt contains protein, but it is not as protein-rich as the other options. Yogurt is more commonly consumed for its probiotic benefits and calcium content.

Choice B rationale:

8 oz of raw spinach contains some protein but is not a high source of protein compared to the other options. Spinach is often chosen for its high iron and fiber content.

Choice C rationale:

8 oz of chopped hard-boiled egg is a significant source of protein. Eggs are well-known for their high-quality protein content.

Choice D rationale:

8 oz of brown rice is not a high source of protein compared to the other options. While it does contain some protein, it is primarily a carbohydrate-rich food.

Choice A rationale:

Insomnia is not typically associated with increased intracranial pressure (ICP) Instead, infants with increased ICP may exhibit signs of altered consciousness, lethargy, or increased sleepiness.

Choice B rationale:

A low-pitched cry is not a specific manifestation of increased ICP. Increased ICP in infants may cause high-pitched crying due to discomfort or irritability.

Choice C rationale:

A positive Babinski reflex is not a typical manifestation of increased ICP in infants. Instead, increased ICP may result in neurological signs such as altered level of consciousness, irritability, vomiting, and changes in vital signs.

Choice D rationale:

Bulging fontanel is the correct manifestation to expect in an infant with increased ICP. The fontanel may become tense and bulging due to increased pressure within the skull. This is a concerning sign and should be promptly reported for further evaluation and intervention.
