A nurse is preparing to administer naproxen 500 mg PO BID for a client who has osteoarthritis. The amount available is naproxen 125 mg/5 mL oral suspension. How many mL 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.)

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is ["20"]

- To calculate the dose of naproxen oral suspension, use the following formula: Dose (mL) = Desired dose (mg) / Available dose (mg/mL)

- In this case, the desired dose is 500 mg and the available dose is 125 mg/5 mL, which is equivalent to 25 mg/mL

- Plug in the values into the formula: Dose (mL) = 500 mg / 25 mg/mL - Simplify the expression: Dose (mL) = 20 mL

- Round the answer to the nearest whole number: Dose (mL) = 20 mL

- The nurse should administer 20 mL of naproxen oral suspension per dose

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A. Fat embolism syndrome - This is characterized by respiratory distress, altered mental status, and petechial rash. It is not associated with increasing edema.

B. Pulmonary embolism - This occurs when a blood clot (usually from the legs) travels to the lungs and can present with symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath, and rapid heart rate. It is not associated with increasing edema around a fracture site.

C. Acute compartment syndrome - This is a serious condition that occurs when increased pressure within a muscle compartment impairs blood supply, leading to tissue ischemia and necrosis. Increasing edema is an early sign of compartment syndrome.

D. Osteomyelitis - This is an infection of the bone and is not typically associated with increasing edema around a fracture site. It may present with local signs of infection like warmth, redness, and tenderness.

A. This service focuses on teaching the primary caregiver to meet the client's needs. B. The emphasis is on the client's complete recovery from the illness or injury. C. This service began with the client's admission to the hospital. D. Services are centered in long-term care facilities.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

A. This option is correct. Rehabilitative care often involves educating the primary caregiver on how to assist the client in their recovery process.

B. This option suggests a focus on complete recovery, but rehabilitative care may also focus on adapting to new circumstances if complete recovery is not possible.

C. This option refers to the initiation of services, which may not specifically pertain to rehabilitative care.

D. This option incorrectly associates rehabilitative care exclusively with long-term care facilities. While rehabilitative care may occur in such facilities, it can also occur in other settings.
