A nurse is preparing to administer ibuprofen solution 60 mg orally to a 7-month-old infant who is febrile. Available is ibuprofen 50 mg/1.25 mL. How many should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

A. Administering a subcutaneous insulin injection requires nursing knowledge and skill to ensure correct dosage, technique, and monitoring for side effects. This should not be delegated to an assistive personnel (AP).

B. Removing an NG tube requires nursing assessment to determine if removal is appropriate and safe for the client. It also requires skill in managing complications that may arise. This should not be delegated to an AP.

C. Providing discharge teaching about home IV medication therapy is a complex task that requires nursing knowledge about medication management, potential complications, and instructions for safe administration. It cannot be delegated to an AP.

D. Collecting a sputum culture can be delegated to an AP. This is a task within their scope of practice, provided the AP has been trained in collecting samples and the procedure is straightforward.

A. Store the dentures in a dry denture cup on the bedside table after cleaning.: Dentures should not be stored in a dry cup as this can lead to drying out and warping of the dentures. They should be stored in water or a denture solution to keep them moist.

B. Place a towel in the sink when cleaning the dentures.: This is correct. Placing a towel in the sink is a safety precaution to prevent dentures from breaking if they are accidentally dropped while being cleaned. It also helps prevent damage from impact with hard surfaces.

C. Remove the lower dentures before the upper dentures.: There is no specific order required for removing dentures, as both upper and lower dentures should be removed carefully and cleaned.

D. Use a circular motion to cleanse the biting surface of the dentures.: A circular motion is not the best technique for cleaning dentures. Instead, the dentures should be brushed gently with a soft toothbrush, focusing on cleaning all surfaces, including the biting surfaces, using a back-and-forth motion.
