A nurse is preparing to administer furosemide 30 mg IV bolus stat. Available is furosemide injection 10 mg/mL. How many mL should the nurseadminister? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

A) Use the provider’s initials after the prescription:
Using the provider's initials after the prescription is not an appropriate or standard practice. The nurse should transcribe the prescription accurately and include the provider's full name or identification, but not initials. The nurse is responsible for ensuring the correct interpretation and transmission of the order, and abbreviations or initials could lead to errors or confusion.

B) Repeat the prescription to the provider:
Repeating the prescription to the provider may not be sufficient. It is important to read the prescription back to the provider to ensure that both the nurse and the provider are in agreement about the medication order. Repeating the prescription is a good practice, but it does not provide the same level of verification as reading it back to ensure its accuracy.

C) Write the prescription in shorthand:
Writing prescriptions in shorthand is unsafe and should be avoided. Shorthand can lead to misunderstandings or misinterpretations of the order, which could result in medication errors. The nurse should transcribe the prescription clearly and in full, without using any abbreviations or shorthand, to ensure clarity and accuracy.

D) Read back the prescription to the provider:
Reading back the prescription to the provider is the correct action. This practice, often referred to as "read-back," helps to confirm that the nurse has accurately heard and understood the provider’s order. It is a safety measure that reduces the likelihood of medication errors, especially in high-risk situations like verbal or telephone orders. The nurse should repeat the prescription verbatim, including dosage, route, frequency, and any other relevant details, to ensure it has been transcribed correctly.

A) Granulation tissue forming at the bottom of the wound bed:
Granulation tissue typically forms in wounds that heal by secondary intention. This type of healing occurs when the wound edges are not approximated (e.g., a large or open wound), and new tissue must form to fill the gap. In primary intention healing, the wound edges are well approximated, and granulation tissue is not the hallmark of the healing process, although some may appear early on.

B) Healing of the wound is prolonged:
Wounds healing by primary intention generally heal more quickly than those healing by secondary intention. In primary intention, the wound edges are approximated with sutures, staples, or adhesive, allowing for a faster and more efficient healing process. Therefore, prolonged healing is not expected with primary intention]

C) Skin edges of the wound are sutured closed:
This is the correct finding for a wound healing by primary intention. Primary intention healing occurs when the wound edges are brought together (approximated) and secured with sutures, staples, or adhesive strips. This method promotes faster healing and minimal scarring because the tissue is directly aligned.

D) Wound is contaminated at the time of injury:
Wounds that heal by primary intention are generally clean and not contaminated. If a wound is contaminated or infected at the time of injury, it is more likely to heal by secondary intention, where the tissue must fill in from the base upwards, which takes longer and may result in more scarring.
