A patient is ordered 20 unit/kg IV bolus of Heparin. The patient weighs 154 lbs. Heparin is supplied 25,000 units/250 mL. How many mL will the nurse administer? (round to the nearest whole number)

A. Asking yes or no questions can help facilitate communication, as they require less verbal output from the client and can help the nurse understand the client’s needs or thoughts without overwhelming them
B. This option is somewhat useful, as practicing words can help the client regain some verbal skills. However, it may not be the most effective immediate intervention. Clients with expressive aphasia often struggle to produce speech rather than understand it, and they may not benefit as much from this approach without additional support from speech therapy.
C. This intervention is not beneficial for improving communication. Tracking time spent speaking could create additional pressure on the client and may contribute to frustration rather than facilitate communication. It does not address the underlying issue of expressive aphasia.
D. This is not an appropriate intervention. Changing the subject can confuse or frustrate the client further, making it more difficult for them to communicate. It does not support their efforts to express themselves and may discourage them from trying to communicate altogether.

A. Petechiae (small red or purple spots caused by bleeding under the skin) and epistaxis (nosebleeds) result from thrombocytopenia, which is a low platelet count often seen in leukemia. The compromised bone marrow function leads to inadequate production of platelets, resulting in bleeding and bruising.
B. While generalized edema and rash can occur in various conditions, they are not specific to ALL and are not common initial findings. Edema might be seen in certain contexts (e.g., renal involvement or fluid overload), but it is not a hallmark of ALL.
C. Alopecia (hair loss) and pallor (paleness) can occur in clients undergoing chemotherapy for ALL, but they are not typically initial findings at the time of diagnosis. Pallor may result from anemia, which can develop as a consequence of the disease, but it is not the most immediate or characteristic symptom of ALL.
D. Bradycardia (slow heart rate) and lethargy are not typical initial findings of ALL. Lethargy could be present due to anemia or other systemic effects, but bradycardia is not commonly associated with the disease and would require further investigation for other underlying causes.
