A nurse is preparing to administer clindamycin by intermittent IV bolus over 30 minutes to a client who has a staphylococcal infection. Available is 300 mg clindamycin premixed in 50 mL 0.9% sodium chloride (NaCl). 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.)

Choice A reason:

The statement that nonverbal communication conveys less truth than what the client states verbally is incorrect. Nonverbal communication often conveys more truth than verbal communication because it includes body language, facial expressions, and other cues that can reveal a person’s true feelings and intentions. People may say one thing but their nonverbal cues can indicate something different.

Choice B reason:

The statement that the client enacts nonverbal communication consciously is not entirely accurate. While some nonverbal behaviors are conscious, many are subconscious and automatic. For example, facial expressions and body posture often occur without conscious thought and can provide genuine insights into a person’s emotions and state of mind.

Choice C reason:

The client’s sociocultural background influences nonverbal communication is correct. Different cultures have varying norms and interpretations for nonverbal behaviors. For instance, eye contact, gestures, and personal space can have different meanings across cultures. Understanding a client’s sociocultural background helps in accurately interpreting their nonverbal cues.

Choice D reason:

The statement that nonverbal communication is a poor reflection of what the client feels is incorrect. Nonverbal communication is often a very accurate reflection of a person’s feelings. It includes subtle cues like tone of voice, facial expressions, and body language, which can provide deeper insights into a person’s emotional state than words alone.

Choice A reason: Placing the shoulder harness straps below the level of the newborn’s armpits is incorrect. The shoulder harness straps should be at or below the level of the newborn’s shoulders to ensure a snug and secure fit.

Choice B reason: Keeping the car seat rear-facing until the newborn can sit unsupported is incorrect. The car seat should remain rear-facing until the child reaches the maximum height or weight limit specified by the car seat manufacturer, which is typically around 2 years of age.

Choice C reason: Placing the retainer clip across the newborn’s abdomen is incorrect. The retainer clip should be positioned at the level of the newborn’s armpits to ensure the harness straps are properly aligned and to prevent the baby from slipping out of the harness.

Choice D reason: Positioning the newborn at a 45-degree angle in the car seat is correct. This angle helps keep the newborn’s airway open and reduces the risk of airway obstruction. It also ensures that the baby is securely positioned in the seat.
