A nurse is preparing to administer ceftazidime 2 g via intermittent IV over 30 min to a client who has osteomyelitis. The amount available is ceftazidime 2 g/50 mL. The nurse should set the IV pump to deliver how many mL/hr?

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

D. Wearing goggles or eye protection when irrigating a wound helps prevent splashes or sprays of contaminated fluid from entering the nurse's eyes.

A Gowns are typically used during direct patient contact if there is an expectation of substantial contact with blood or body fluids.

B Sterile gloves are not typically required for administering an intramuscular (IM) injection. Instead, clean non-sterile gloves are sufficient to maintain aseptic technique during the procedure.

C. Recapping needles using both hands can increase the risk of needlestick injuries. It is recommended to use a one-handed scoop method or a safety device to recap needles safely.

B. After a lumbar puncture, instructing the client to lie flat on their back for a period of time (often 1-2 hours) helps prevent complications such as headaches due to CSF leakage and promotes proper sealing of the puncture site.

A Monitoring blood glucose every 2 hours is not typically necessary immediately following a lumbar puncture unless the client has pre-existing diabetes or there are specific indications to monitor glucose levels

C Tingling in the extremities is not an expected or normal occurrence following a lumbar puncture. It could indicate neurological complications such as nerve irritation or damage, which would require prompt assessment and intervention.

D. The nurse should encourage adequate hydration unless contraindicated by the client's medical condition or specific post-procedure instructions.
