A nurse is providing teaching to the parent of a 6-month-old infant who is teething and having difficulty sleeping. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?

A. Weight loss while using a diaphragm is not typically an urgent concern and may be related to dieting; the client should be advised to follow up with her primary care provider for further

evaluation.

B. Cramping and bleeding are common side effects following an IUD insertion and typically do not require immediate attention unless severe or accompanied by other concerning symptoms;

the client should be advised to monitor her symptoms and follow up if they worsen.

C. Breakthrough bleeding is a common side effect of starting oral contraceptives and may resolve on its own after a few cycles; the client should be advised to continue taking her pills as prescribed and to follow up if the bleeding persists or worsens.

D. Shoulder pain following a laparoscopic procedure may indicate a potential complication such as referred pain from gas used during the procedure or more serious issues such as internal bleeding or organ injury; the client should be instructed to come to the clinic for further

evaluation and management.

A. Using the injection port farthest from the IV catheter insertion site is not necessary for administering an IV bolus of medication and may not be practical depending on the setup of the IV tubing.

B. Occluding the IV tubing above the injection port prevents the bolus medication from flowing into the continuous IV infusion, ensuring that the medication is delivered directly to the patient.

C. Checking for blood return after medication administration is not relevant in this context, as albumin 5% is administered intravenously and does not require blood return.

D. Flushing the IV tubing with a heparinized solution is not necessary for administering an IV bolus of medication and may not be appropriate for all medications.
