A nurse is preparing to administer sucralfate 80 mg/kg/day divided into four doses per day to a child who weighs 35 kg. The amount available is sucralfate oral suspension 1 g/10 mL. 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.)

Choice A reason: Turning on loud music in client care areas is not a good action. Loud music can increase noise levels, disrupt sleep, and cause agitation and anxiety for clients. The nurse should keep the noise level low and provide earplugs or headphones for clients who want to listen to music.

Choice B reason: Assigning different nurses to provide care for clients each day is not a good action. Different nurses may have different styles, routines, and expectations, which can confuse and frustrate clients. The nurse should maintain consistency and continuity of care by assigning the same nurses to the same clients as much as possible.

Choice C reason: While offering some choices can empower clients and reduce stress, too many choices might overwhelm them, particularly in an acute care setting. The key is to provide a balance of autonomy while not overwhelming the client.

Choice D reason: Limiting the number of visitors can help create a quieter, more controlled environment, reducing overstimulation and stress for clients. This can be particularly important in an acute care setting where rest and a calm environment are crucial for recovery.

Choice A reason: Showing the client a video demonstration of peak flow meter use is a helpful teaching strategy, but it is not the first action that the nurse should take. The nurse should first assess the client's baseline knowledge and readiness to learn before providing any information or instruction.

Choice B reason: Observing the client using the peak flow meter is a way to evaluate the client's learning and skill, but it is not the first action that the nurse should take. The nurse should first determine the client's knowledge of the use of the peak flow meter and then teach the client how to use it correctly.

Choice C reason: Emphasizing the importance of the daily use of the peak flow meter is a way to motivate the client to adhere to the treatment plan, but it is not the first action that the nurse should take. The nurse should first assess the client's knowledge of the use of the peak flow meter and then explain the benefits and rationale of using it regularly.

Choice D reason: Determining the client's knowledge of the use of the peak flow meter is the first action that the nurse should take, as it follows the principle of the nursing process. The nurse should start with assessment, then proceed with planning, implementation, and evaluation. By assessing the client's knowledge, the nurse can identify the client's learning needs, gaps, and preferences, and tailor the teaching accordingly.
