A nurse is preparing to administer metronidazole 2 g PO to a client who has trichomoniasis. Available is metronidazole 250 mg tablets.

How many tablets should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies.

Do not use a trailing zero.) .

Choice A rationale
Limiting the length of breastfeeding to 5 minutes per breast is not typically recommended. It’s important for the baby to empty each breast completely, as the fat content of the milk increases as the breast empties.
Choice B rationale
Assessing the newborn’s latch while breastfeeding is crucial. A poor latch can cause sore nipples. The baby should take as much of the areola into their mouth as possible, with more areola showing at the top lip than the bottom.
Choice C rationale
Waiting 4 hours between daytime feedings is not typically recommended for a breastfeeding newborn. Newborns typically need to feed every 2-3 hours, or 8-12 times in 24 hours.
Choice D rationale
Offering supplemental formula between the newborn’s feedings can interfere with establishing a good milk supply and should be avoided unless medically necessary.

Choice A rationale
Decreased extremity edema is a positive sign in a client with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) 48 hours postpartum. DVT is a blood clot that forms in a vein deep in the body, often in the lower leg or thigh. Edema, or swelling, is a common symptom. A decrease in edema may indicate that the condition is improving.
Choice B rationale
Redness in the extremity is not a positive sign in a client with DVT1112. Redness can indicate inflammation or infection, which could suggest a worsening of the condition.
Choice C rationale
Leukocytosis, or an increase in the number of white blood cells, is not a positive sign in a client with DVT1112. It can indicate an infection or inflammation, which could suggest a worsening of the condition.
Choice D rationale
Tachycardia, or a fast heart rate, is not a positive sign in a client with DVT1112. It can indicate a response to decreased oxygen levels in the blood, which could suggest a worsening of the condition.
