The client is at greatest risk for developing Target 1 and Target 2. Conditions.

Choice A rationale:

The prescription for Levothyroxine 75 mcg PO daily at 0600 does not require clarification. It provides clear instructions for the medication, including the drug name, dosage, route, and timing. The administration time (0600) is specific, allowing the nurse to administer the medication accurately.

Choice B rationale:

The prescription for Digoxin 250 PO daily contains an error. The dosage (250) is missing the unit of measurement (e.g., mcg or mg). Without the unit, it is impossible to accurately administer the medication. This prescription needs clarification from the prescriber to ensure safe and precise administration.

Choice C rationale:

The prescription for Acetaminophen 650 mg PO Q6 hours does not require clarification. It provides clear instructions for the medication, including the drug name, dosage (650 mg), route (PO), and frequency (every 6 hours). The dosing interval is appropriate and within the normal range for acetaminophen administration.

Choice D rationale:

The prescription for Ceftriaxone 1 g IV Q 24 hours does not require clarification. It provides clear instructions for the medication, including the drug name, dosage (1 g), route (IV), and frequency (every 24 hours). The dosing interval is appropriate for this antibiotic and allows for effective treatment of infections.

The correct answer is Choice D.

Choice A rationale: Acupuncture is typically administered by a trained acupuncturist, not by the nurse. It is not commonly initiated upon arrival at the labor unit.

Choice B rationale: Biofeedback is a technique that usually requires prior training and practice; it is not typically taught for the first time at the beginning of labor.

Choice C rationale: Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) can help manage back pain during labor but is not specifically used for pelvic pressure.

Choice D rationale: Using an ultrasound picture as a focal point during contractions is a common nonpharmacological pain management technique. Focal points help the client concentrate and manage pain through visualization and distraction.
