A nurse is preparing to administer levothyroxine 50 mcg to a client. Available is levothyroxine 0.025 mg/tablet. How many tablets should the nurse administer per dose? (Round to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

A. 0.45% saline. This is a hypotonic solution, which may be used later in diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) management, but it is not appropriate for initial fluid resuscitation as it does not rapidly expand intravascular volume.
B. NPH insulin. NPH is an intermediate-acting insulin and is not used for continuous infusion. In DKA, rapid insulin correction is needed, typically with a short-acting insulin like regular insulin.
C. 0.9% normal saline. This isotonic fluid is the first-line choice for fluid replacement in clients with DKA. It helps restore circulating volume and correct dehydration quickly, which is a critical initial intervention.
D. Glargine insulin. Glargine is a long-acting insulin and not suitable for IV infusion. DKA requires the use of short-acting insulin (e.g., regular insulin) administered via IV infusion to correct hyperglycemia and acidosis.

A. Orange slices. Vitamin C-rich foods like oranges enhance the absorption of nonheme iron, which is found in plant-based sources such as legumes, leafy greens, and fortified cereals. This is especially important for vegetarians who rely on nonheme iron sources.
B. Boiled eggs. While eggs contain iron, they also contain phosphoproteins that can actually inhibit iron absorption. They do not enhance the absorption of nonheme iron and are not ideal for this purpose.
C. Mixed nuts. Nuts provide a source of nonheme iron but do not significantly enhance iron absorption. They lack vitamin C, which is essential for improving nonheme iron bioavailability.
D. Cheddar cheese. Dairy products like cheese contain calcium, which can inhibit iron absorption. They are not recommended to enhance iron uptake, particularly when consuming nonheme iron.
