A nurse is preparing to administer lactated Ringer's 1,500 mL IV to infuse at 50 mL/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 the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

- A. Obesity is not a risk factor for osteoporosis. In fact, obesity may have a protective effect on bone density due to increased mechanical loading and higher levels of estrogen in adipose tissue.

- B. Acromegaly is not a risk factor for osteoporosis. Acromegaly is a condition caused by excess growth hormone, which leads to increased bone formation and remodeling.

- C. Estrogen replacement therapy is not a risk factor for osteoporosis. Estrogen replacement therapy can help prevent bone loss and reduce the risk of fractures in postmenopausal women with low estrogen levels.

- D. Sedentary lifestyle is a risk factor for osteoporosis. Sedentary lifestyle reduces physical activity and muscle strength, which decreases bone stimulation and increases bone resorption.

Borderline.

• A. Borderline personality disorder is characterized by a pervasive pattern of instability in interpersonal relationships, self-image, and affect, as well as marked impulsivity and recurrent suicidal behavior. The client's history of seeking counseling for relationship problems and selfinflicted lacerations are consistent with this disorder. Therefore, this choice is correct.
• B. Antisocial personality disorder is characterized by a disregard for and violation of the rights of others, as well as a lack of remorse for one's actions. The client's behavior does not indicate this disorder. Therefore, this choice is incorrect.
• C. Paranoid personality disorder is characterized by a pervasive distrust and suspiciousness of others, as well as a tendency to interpret others' motives as malevolent. The client's behavior does not indicate this disorder. Therefore, this choice is incorrect.
• D. Histrionic personality disorder is characterized by excessive emotionality and attentionseeking behavior, as well as a tendency to dramatize situations and exaggerate emotions. The client's behavior does not indicate this disorder. Therefore, this choice is incorrect.
