The nurse is preparing a dose of 60 mcg of teriparatide. The medication is labeled "750 mcg/2.4 mL". How many ml. should the nurse administer? (Enter numeric value only. If rounding is required, round to the nearest tenth.)

- Decreased hemoglobin and hematocrit levels: Consistent with iron deficiency anemia, vitamin B12 deficient anemia, and folic acid deficient anemia. Iron deficiency anemia results from
inadequate iron stores, while vitamin B12 deficient anemia and folic acid deficient anemia are characterized by inadequate levels of these respective vitamins, all of which contribute to decreased hemoglobin and hematocrit levels.
- Uptake often impeded by medications: Consistent with iron deficiency anemia and vitamin B12 deficient anemia. Iron absorption can be affected by certain medications, such as proton pump
inhibitors or antacids, which can hinder iron uptake. Vitamin B12 deficiency can result from medications that interfere with its absorption, such as proton pump inhibitors or metformin.

- Often associated with chronic alcoholism: Consistent with vitamin B12 deficient anemia. Chronic alcoholism can lead to vitamin B12 deficiency due to poor dietary intake,
malabsorption, or liver dysfunction associated with excessive alcohol consumption.

- Can be caused by malabsorption syndrome: Consistent with vitamin B12 deficient anemia and folic acid deficient anemia. Malabsorption syndromes, such as celiac disease or Crohn's disease, can impair the absorption of both vitamin B12 and folic acid from the gastrointestinal tract,
leading to deficiencies.

- Result of dietary deficiency: Consistent with iron deficiency anemia, vitamin B12 deficient anemia, and folic acid deficient anemia. Iron deficiency anemia results from inadequate dietary intake of iron-rich foods, while vitamin B12 deficient anemia and folic acid deficient anemia stem from insufficient dietary intake of foods rich in these respective vitamins.

A. Wearing gloves when interviewing the client. This behavior may make the client feel stigmatized or rejected, as it could imply that the nurse perceives them as contagious or untouchable.
B. Allowing the client to ventilate feelings. While this is important for emotional support, it does not directly address the psychosocial need for acceptance.
C. Encouraging the client to join a support group. This can help the client feel less isolated and gain support from others with similar experiences, but it is not as immediate or direct as personal interaction.
D. Shaking the client's hand during an introduction. This gesture of physical contact can significantly convey acceptance and normalcy, helping the client feel respected and accepted despite their condition.
