A nurse is preparing to administer dextrose 5% in water (DSW) 1,200 ml. IV to infuse over 24 hr. The drop factor of the manual IV tubing is 15 gtt/mL. The nurse should set the manual IV infusion to deliver how many gtt/min? (Round to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

This statement is incorrect and requires correction because it suggests starting the flow of urine before positioning the collection container, which can result in contamination of the specimen. The correct procedure for collecting a midstream urine specimen involves the following steps:

1. Provide the client with a clean urine specimen container.

2. Instruct the client to cleanse the genital area using a provided towelette or antiseptic wipes, wiping from front to back.

3. Instruct the client to start urinating into the toilet or bedpan.

4. As the urine stream continues, the client should pass the collection container into the stream to collect the midstream specimen.

5. Once an adequate amount of urine has been collected (as per the laboratory's instructions), the client should remove the container from the stream of urine. 6. The client can then complete urinating into the toilet or bedpan.

The other statements made by the newly licensed nurse are correct:

"Use the provided towelette to cleanse the area by moving in a back-and-forth motion": This statement correctly instructs the client to cleanse the genital area before collecting the urine specimen.

"It will be easier to use your nondominant hand to spread the labia": This statement is correct as it suggests using the nondominant hand to facilitate the collection process.

"Remove the specimen container before stopping the stream of urine": This statement is correct as it indicates that the container should be removed before completing urination.

Omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) commonly prescribed to reduce stomach acid production. It is frequently used to treat conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and peptic ulcer disease. Acid indigestion, characterized by a burning sensation in the chest or upper abdomen, is a common symptom of excessive stomach acid.

While omeprazole can indirectly alleviate certain symptoms associated with excessive stomach acid, it is not typically used to directly treat or relieve symptoms such as nausea, diarrhea, or headaches. Other medications or interventions may be more suitable for managing these specific symptoms.
