A nurse is preparing to administer diphenhydramine 25 mg PO every 6 hr. to an older adult client who has rhinitis. The amount available is diphenhydramine syrup 12.5 mg/5 mile How many ml should the nurse administer?
(Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

Choice A Reason:

Setting the degree of flexion and extension as tolerated by the client is generally appropriate in a CPM device, but this should be done within the prescribed range recommended by the healthcare provider. Simply allowing the client to adjust the degree of flexion and extension without guidance might lead to overextension or inadequate movement, potentially causing discomfort or hindering recovery.

Choice B Reason:

Padding the CPM device with a thick pillow isn't the recommended approach. CPM devices typically come with appropriate padding to ensure comfort and proper positioning. Using a thick pillow might alter the device's mechanics or cause uneven support, affecting the intended movement of the knee.

Choice C Reason:

Placing the client in high-Fowler's position (sitting upright at a 90-degree angle) isn't a standard or necessary position for using a CPM device after a knee arthroplasty. The client can typically use the CPM device while lying in a comfortable and relaxed position, following the healthcare provider's instructions regarding positioning during CPM therapy.

Choice D Reason:

Aligning the client's joints with the joints on the frame is essential for the correct function of the CPM device. This alignment helps in providing the intended range of motion without causing unnecessary stress or strain on the knee joint.

Choice A Reason:
Suction equipment is recommended. This is a crucial supply to have at hand. During or after a seizure, the client might have excessive secretions or vomit, which could potentially obstruct their airway. Suction equipment helps clear the airway and maintain breathing, making it an essential item to have bedside.
Choice B Reason:
Padded tongue blades is incorrect. The use of padded tongue blades during a seizure is not recommended. Placing anything inside the mouth during a seizure could cause injury or pose a risk of choking. Keeping the airway clear and ensuring the client's safety is more important than attempting to manipulate the tongue.
Choice C Reason:
Backboard is incorrect.Backboards are typically used for spinal immobilization in cases of suspected spinal injury, not specifically for seizure management. Unless there's a concurrent injury or trauma, a backboard wouldn't be routinely necessary for a client having a seizure.
Choice D Reason:
Wrist restraints is incorrect. Restraints are generally not used for managing seizures. Using restraints during a seizure could potentially cause harm, restrict movement, and increase the risk of injury to the client. Restraints are not considered appropriate or safe for managing seizures.
