A nurse is preparing to administer clindamycin palmitate 225 mg PO to a client.

Available is clindamycin palmitate oral suspension 75 mg/5 mL.

How many ml’s should the nurse administer?

Choice A rationale
A patient with type 1 diabetes who has taken a high dose of insulin is at the highest risk for developing hypoglycemia. Insulin lowers blood glucose levels, and taking a high dose can cause the levels to drop too low.
Choice B rationale
A patient with type 2 diabetes who has not taken any medication is not at a high risk for developing hypoglycemia. Without medication, their blood glucose levels may be high, not low.
Choice C rationale
An elderly patient who is taking an antibiotic for an infection is not at a high risk for developing hypoglycemia. Antibiotics do not typically affect blood glucose levels.
Choice D rationale
A patient with metabolic syndrome who is taking a statin to lower cholesterol levels is not at a high risk for developing hypoglycemia. Statins do not typically affect blood glucose levels.

Choice A rationale
During the fluid resuscitation phase of burn management, the primary goal is to restore circulating volume and preserve vital organ and tissue perfusion. One of the most effective methods for assessing the results of fluid resuscitation is monitoring urine output. A urine output greater than 0.5 mL/kg/hr is generally considered an indicator of adequate fluid resuscitation.
Choice B rationale
While clear bilateral breath sounds are an important part of overall patient assessment, they are not the best method for assessing the results of fluid resuscitation in burn management.
Choice C rationale
Serum hemoglobin is not the best indicator for assessing the results of fluid resuscitation in burn management. While it can provide information about the patient’s overall health and blood volume, it does not directly reflect the adequacy of fluid resuscitation.
Choice D rationale
A heart rate of 122/min could indicate a response to pain, anxiety, or inadequate fluid resuscitation. However, it is not the best method for assessing the results of fluid resuscitation in burn management.
