Correct Answer is ["24"]

Explanation

For a client prescribed 2 grams of amoxicillin/clavulanic acid every 12 hours, and given that the medication is supplied in 500 mg capsules,

The client would need to take four capsules to meet the 2-gram requirement per dose. Since the medication is to be taken every 12 hours, this equates to two doses per day.

For a 3-day business trip, the client would need to take a total of 6 doses. Therefore, the client should take 24 capsules (4 capsules per dose multiplied by 6 doses) with them to ensure they have enough medication for the duration of their trip.

A. "I think my ankles look less swollen today." B. "I felt a little dizzy when I got out of bed this morning." C. "I feel as if my heart is beating very fast. D. "I am a little short of breath today." E. The CNA told me that my blood pressure was 150 over 98 this morning."

Correct Answer is ["C","D","E"]

Explanation

C. Rapid heart rate (tachycardia) can be a sign of fluid overload, as the heart compensates for increased volume by beating faster to maintain cardiac output.

D. Shortness of breath (dyspnea) can indicate fluid overload, especially if it is new or worsening and associated with pulmonary congestion due to fluid accumulation.

E Elevated blood pressure can be a sign of fluid overload, as increased circulating volume can lead to hypertension.

A. This statement suggests a decrease in peripheral edema, which is a positive sign and does not typically indicate fluid overload. It may actually indicate improvement.

B. Dizziness can be a symptom of hypovolemia (low fluid volume) rather than fluid overload. It is not typically a specific sign of fluid overload.
