The nurse responds to the client's questions about CAM therapies and explains that some have been popular for centuries in treating conditions of the body and mind including which of the following? (Select All that Apply.)

To find the volume of amoxicillin solution the nurse needs to administer, we can divide the desired dose (300 mg) by the concentration of the solution (250 mg/5 mL).

Here's the calculation:

Amoxicillin volume (mL) = Desired dose (mg) / Concentration (mg/mL) Amoxicillin volume (mL) = 300 mg / 250 mg/5 mL

Since we're dividing by a fraction, it's mathematically equivalent to multiply by the reciprocal of the fraction. The reciprocal of 250 mg/5 mL is 5 mL/250 mg.

Amoxicillin volume (mL) = 300 mg * (5 mL / 250 mg)

Cancel out the milligrams (mg) units:

Amoxicillin volume (mL) = 300 mg / 250 mg * 5 mL

Amoxicillin volume (mL) = 1.2 mL (rounded to one decimal place)

However, since we are dealing with medication, it's best to round to the nearest whole number for accuracy in administering the dose.

Therefore, the nurse should administer 6.0 mL of amoxicillin oral solution.

A. Temperature of 100.8 Degrees Fahrenheit (38.2 Degrees Celsius): Fever can indicate a potential adverse reaction to the medication or may be a sign of infection, which could complicate the patient's condition. While a fever can be a sign of an infection, it's not a typical adverse effect for alteplase

B. Skin rash with urticaria: Skin rash and urticaria (hives) can indicate an allergic reaction to alteplase. Allergic reactions can range from mild to severe and may necessitate discontinuation of the medication and administration of appropriate treatment, such as antihistamines or corticosteroids, depending on the severity of the reaction but it's less common than bleeding.

C. Wheezing with labored breathing: Wheezing and labored breathing can indicate a severe allergic reaction or anaphylaxis to alteplase but again, bleeding is a more prominent concern.

D. Bruising and epistaxis: Alteplase increases the risk of bleeding due to its thrombolytic activity. Bruising and epistaxis (nosebleeds) are common manifestations of bleeding associated with alteplase therapy. Monitoring for these signs helps detect potential bleeding complications early, allowing for prompt intervention to minimize further bleeding and manage the patient's condition appropriately.
