The client is to receive an antibiotic 1 gram in 500 ml of fluid intravenously over 2 hours. At what rate will the nurse set the IV pump in mL/hr.?

(Answer as whole number)

Aspiration refers to the inhalation of gastric contents or other substances into the respiratory tract. During surgery, when the patient is under general anesthesia, the protective airway reflexes may be suppressed, increasing the risk of aspiration. If stomach contents enter the lungs, it can lead to aspiration pneumonia, respiratory distress, and other complications.

While myocardial infarction (MI), hernia, and cerebral vascular accident (CVA) are possible complications that can occur during surgery, they are not specifically related to airway issues.

MI is a cardiac event involving the blood supply to the heart muscle, hernia refers to the protrusion of an organ or tissue through an abnormal opening, and CVA refers to a disruption of blood flow to the brain. These complications can have various causes but are not directly related to the airway during surgery.

Wound evisceration refers to the protrusion of internal organs or tissues through an open wound. In this case, with the separation of the wound and extrusion of the intestine through the opening, it is a clear indication of wound evisceration. It is a surgical emergency that requires immediate medical attention.

Wound dehiscence, on the other hand, refers to the separation or opening of a previously closed surgical incision or wound. It does not involve the extrusion of internal organs or tissues.

Wound infection refers to the presence of infectious microorganisms in the wound, leading to inflammation and other signs of infection.

Wound tunneling refers to the formation of narrow channels or tunnels within the wound, often caused by improper wound healing or infection.
