A nurse is preparing to administer ceftriaxone 1 g intermittent IV bolus to a client over 30 min. Available is ceftriaxone 1 g in 100 mL of dextrose 5% in water. The nurse should set the pump to deliver how many mL per hr? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

A. Provide a verbal report of the client's condition to the paramedic performing the transfer. This is an appropriate and secure method for communicating essential health information directly involved in the client’s care. It ensures continuity of care while maintaining confidentiality.
B. Email the client's health information to the facility in an unencrypted file. Sending health information via unencrypted email violates HIPAA guidelines and poses a risk to client confidentiality due to potential unauthorized access.
C. Discuss the client's response to the transfer with another staff nurse. Unless the staff nurse is directly involved in the client’s care, this would be a breach of confidentiality. Personal health information should only be shared on a need-to-know basis.
D. Fax the client's name and identifiable information to the rehabilitation facility. Faxing is permissible only when appropriate safeguards are in place. However, faxing identifiable information without confirming the recipient or using secure protocols can risk a confidentiality breach.

A. Weak femoral pulses. Coarctation of the aorta is a congenital narrowing of the aorta, which leads to reduced blood flow to the lower extremities, resulting in weak or absent femoral pulses—a hallmark finding of this condition.
B. Increased intracranial pressure. This is not directly associated with coarctation of the aorta. While severe hypertension can lead to neurologic symptoms, increased ICP is not a typical or early finding.
C. Upper extremity hypotension. The condition causes hypertension in the upper extremities and hypotension in the lower extremities due to the location of the narrowing. Upper extremity hypotension would be an unexpected finding.
D. Frequent nosebleeds. While nosebleeds may occur in older children or adults with uncontrolled hypertension, they are not an expected finding in infants with coarctation of the aorta.
