A nurse is preparing to administer lansoprazole 30 mg PO daily to a client. The amount available is lansoprazole 10 mg per tablet. How many tablets should the nurse administer per dose?

(Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

Choice A reason:

The statement that nonverbal communication conveys less truth than what the client states verbally is incorrect. Nonverbal communication often conveys more truth than verbal communication because it includes body language, facial expressions, and other cues that can reveal a person’s true feelings and intentions. People may say one thing but their nonverbal cues can indicate something different.

Choice B reason:

The statement that the client enacts nonverbal communication consciously is not entirely accurate. While some nonverbal behaviors are conscious, many are subconscious and automatic. For example, facial expressions and body posture often occur without conscious thought and can provide genuine insights into a person’s emotions and state of mind.

Choice C reason:

The client’s sociocultural background influences nonverbal communication is correct. Different cultures have varying norms and interpretations for nonverbal behaviors. For instance, eye contact, gestures, and personal space can have different meanings across cultures. Understanding a client’s sociocultural background helps in accurately interpreting their nonverbal cues.

Choice D reason:

The statement that nonverbal communication is a poor reflection of what the client feels is incorrect. Nonverbal communication is often a very accurate reflection of a person’s feelings. It includes subtle cues like tone of voice, facial expressions, and body language, which can provide deeper insights into a person’s emotional state than words alone.

Choice A reason:

Erythromycin is a macrolide antibiotic and is generally considered safe for patients with a penicillin allergy. It does not share the beta-lactam ring structure that is responsible for cross-reactivity in penicillin-allergic patients.

Choice B reason:

Gentamicin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic and is also safe for patients with a penicillin allergy. It does not have the beta-lactam ring structure and therefore does not pose a risk of cross-reactivity.

Choice C reason:

Amphotericin B is an antifungal medication and is not related to penicillin. It is safe for use in patients with a penicillin allergy as it does not share any structural similarities with penicillin.

Choice D reason:

Amoxicillin-clavulanate is a combination of a penicillin antibiotic (amoxicillin) and a beta-lactamase inhibitor (clavulanate). Since it contains amoxicillin, it should not be given to patients with a penicillin allergy due to the risk of an allergic reaction.
