A nurse is preparing to administer ziprasidone 10 mg IM every 6 hr. Available is ziprasidone 20 mg/mL. How many mL should the nurse administer per dose? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

Fluoxetine and other SSRIs can actually have an impact on sexual desire and function as a side effect, often leading to decreased libido. This statement shows a misunderstanding of the medication's potential effects.

B. "I should notify my provider if I develop a skin rash."

Explanation: Fluoxetine is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) commonly used to treat depression. It's important for clients to be aware of potential side effects and know when to notify their healthcare provider. One potential serious side effect is an allergic reaction or skin rash, which could indicate an adverse response to the medication. Therefore, the client's statement about notifying the provider if a skin rash develops demonstrates their understanding of monitoring for potential adverse reactions.

C. "I should expect relief from depression within 3 to 4 days."

Antidepressant medications like fluoxetine typically take several weeks to start showing significant improvements in symptoms. This statement reflects a misconception about the timeline for therapeutic effects.

D. "I will take my fluoxetine at bedtime so I can sleep better."

Fluoxetine can have stimulating effects for some individuals, so it's often recommended to take it earlier in the day to avoid interference with sleep. Taking it at bedtime could potentially disrupt sleep rather than improve it.

A) Maturational crisis:

This type of crisis arises from normal life transitions, such as entering a new stage of development (adolescence, midlife crisis, etc.). It involves a struggle to adapt to new roles and responsibilities. The client's situation does involve a life transition due to the death of his wife, but the sudden nature of the event and the resulting distress suggest a situational crisis.

B) Adventitious crisis:

Adventitious crises are caused by extraordinary events that are external to the individual's usual experience, such as natural disasters, accidents, or crimes. While the sudden death of the client's wife is an unexpected and tragic event, it's not an adventitious crisis because it involves personal loss rather than a large-scale or external event.

C) Developmental crisis:

Developmental crises are associated with specific stages of life and the challenges and changes that come with them. This crisis doesn't seem to fit the developmental category as it is more tied to the specific event of the wife's sudden death.

D) Situational crisis

Explanation:

A situational crisis is a type of crisis that arises from a specific event or situation that disrupts an individual's normal functioning and coping abilities. In this case, the sudden death of the client's wife is the triggering event that has led to his feeling paralyzed and overwhelmed in his ability to cope with work and family responsibilities. Situational crises are often unexpected and can lead to a temporary state of disorganization and distress.
