A nurse is preparing to administer furosemide 40 mg IV. Available is furosemide 10 mg/1 mL. How many ml should the nurse administer per dose?

A. Incorrect. Withholding insulin during illness is not recommended. Clients with type 1 diabetes should continue to take their prescribed insulin even when they are ill. Insulin is necessary to regulate blood glucose levels, and illness can increase the body's demand for insulin.

B. Incorrect. Drinking calorie-free liquids is important to prevent dehydration during illness, but specific fluid amounts should be individualized based on the client's needs and healthcare provider's recommendations. The given volume is not a universally applicable guideline.

C. Incorrect. Testing blood glucose levels every 8 hours may not be frequent enough during illness. Blood glucose should be monitored more frequently to closely track changes in response to illness and adjust insulin doses accordingly.

D. Correct. Checking urine for ketones when blood glucose levels exceed 240 mg/dL is an important guideline during illness. Elevated blood glucose levels can lead to the production of ketones, and checking for ketones in the urine helps identify the early signs of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). If ketones are present, the client should follow a specific plan of action as outlined by their healthcare provider, which may include adjusting insulin doses or seeking medical attention.

A. 6.3% - This HbA1c level indicates good blood glucose control. It suggests that the client has been effectively managing their blood sugar levels over the past few months.

B. 7.86 - This is an atypical way of presenting HbA1c values. Typically, it is expressed as a percentage, so this value needs to be converted to be compared accurately.

C. 10% - This HbA1c level is elevated and indicates poor blood glucose control. It suggests that the client's blood sugar levels have been consistently high over the past few months.

D. 8.56% - This HbA1c level is elevated and indicates poor blood glucose control. It suggests that the client's blood sugar levels have been consistently high over the past few months.
