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. Using humidifiers can help maintain moisture in the air, which is beneficial if the client is experiencing dry mucous membranes or respiratory discomfort, especially due to chemotherapy. However, while this can be helpful, it’s not the most critical teaching point compared to other options related to infection risk or symptoms monitoring.
B. While engaging in stress-reducing activities is important for overall well-being, gardening may pose specific risks for a client with AML, particularly concerning exposure to soil and potential pathogens. Activities should be carefully considered to avoid any risks of infection or physical strain.
C. Clients with AML, especially those undergoing chemotherapy, have a higher risk of infections due to neutropenia (low white blood cell count). A fever of 100.2°F or higher can be a sign of infection and requires prompt medical evaluation. Thus, this is a crucial point for the client to understand.
D. Fresh vegetables that are not cooked or peeled can harbor bacteria and other pathogens that could pose a risk of infection, especially in immunocompromised patients. Clients undergoing chemotherapy should avoid raw foods that can increase the risk of infections.

A. While applying heat may help alleviate discomfort, it is not the primary recommendation for managing epididymitis. The treatment often involves rest, elevation of the scrotum, and possibly cold packs rather than heat. Therefore, while this statement may reflect some understanding, it is not the best indicator of comprehensive knowledge about managing epididymitis.
B. While some mild cases may improve spontaneously, most cases of epididymitis require treatment, especially if they are caused by infections, which are common. Untreated epididymitis can lead to complications, so this statement does not reflect an accurate understanding of the condition.
C. If epididymitis is caused by a sexually transmitted infection (STI), it is important that sexual partners be evaluated and treated as well to prevent reinfection. This indicates a proper understanding of the implications of the condition, particularly in the context of STIs.
D. It seems to reference concerns related to radiation therapy, which is unrelated to the management or understanding of epididymitis. This indicates a lack of focus on the current diagnosis and its implications.
