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: Placing the shoulder harness straps below the level of the newborn’s armpits is incorrect. The shoulder harness straps should be at or below the level of the newborn’s shoulders to ensure a snug and secure fit.

Choice B reason: Keeping the car seat rear-facing until the newborn can sit unsupported is incorrect. The car seat should remain rear-facing until the child reaches the maximum height or weight limit specified by the car seat manufacturer, which is typically around 2 years of age.

Choice C reason: Placing the retainer clip across the newborn’s abdomen is incorrect. The retainer clip should be positioned at the level of the newborn’s armpits to ensure the harness straps are properly aligned and to prevent the baby from slipping out of the harness.

Choice D reason: Positioning the newborn at a 45-degree angle in the car seat is correct. This angle helps keep the newborn’s airway open and reduces the risk of airway obstruction. It also ensures that the baby is securely positioned in the seat.

Choice A reason: Reinforce discharge teaching to clients

While reinforcing discharge teaching is important, it is not the immediate priority during a disaster situation with limited staff. The focus should be on addressing urgent and life-threatening needs first. Discharge teaching can be addressed once the immediate crisis is managed and resources are more available.

Choice B reason: Instruct the assistive personnel (AP) to focus on clients’ ADLs

Instructing assistive personnel to focus on clients’ activities of daily living (ADLs) is important for maintaining basic care, but it is not the highest priority in a disaster situation. The primary focus should be on preventing life-threatening emergencies and ensuring the safety of all clients.

Choice C reason: Stock additional unit supplies

Stocking additional unit supplies is a proactive measure, but it is not the immediate priority during a disaster with limited staff. Ensuring that clients are safe and that life-threatening emergencies are prevented takes precedence over restocking supplies.

Choice D reason: Focus on providing care that prevents life-threatening emergencies

Focusing on providing care that prevents life-threatening emergencies is the highest priority in a disaster situation. With limited staff, it is crucial to prioritize interventions that ensure the immediate safety and well-being of clients. This includes monitoring for and addressing any critical changes in clients’ conditions and providing necessary emergency care.
