The physician's orders read: Give cortisone 0.015 grams every 8 hours orally. The pharmacy sends cortisone 10mg tablets.

How many tablet(s) will the nurse give Instructions: Rounding: For adult clients, the answer should be rounded to the nearest tenth (mg, mcg, and m).

A urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common complication after bladder cancer surgery, especially if the patient has an indwelling urinary catheter.

A UTI can cause symptoms such as fever, pain, burning or urgency when urinating, blood in the urine, or cloudy or foul-smelling urine.

Choice A is wrong because urinary retention (the inability to empty the bladder completely) is unlikely to occur with an indwelling catheter, which drains urine continuously.

Choice B is wrong because urinary incontinence (the loss of bladder control) is more likely to occur after partial or radical cystectomy, which remove part or all of the bladder, respectively.

In these cases, reconstructive surgery is needed to create a new way for urine to leave the body.

Choice D is wrong because urinary urgency (the sudden and strong need to urinate) is also more likely to occur after partial or radical cystectomy, which can affect the nerves and muscles that control urination.

Urinary urgency can also be a symptom of a UTI, but it’s not the only one.

The correct answer is A. 42 mL/h.

Choice A: 42 mL/h

Reason: To calculate the IV rate, we use the formula: IV rate (mL/h) = Total volume (mL) ÷ Total time (hours). For this problem, the total volume is 1000 mL and the total time is 24 hours. Therefore, the calculation is 1000 mL ÷ 24 hours = 41.6667 mL/h. When rounded to the nearest whole number, the IV rate is 42 mL/h. This makes 42 mL/h the correct answer.

Choice B: 44 mL/h

Reason: This choice is incorrect because it does not match the calculated IV rate. The calculation of 1000 mL ÷ 24 hours results in 41.6667 mL/h, which rounds to 42 mL/h, not 44 mL/h. Therefore, 44 mL/h is not a valid option based on the given data.

Choice C: 46 mL/h

Reason: This choice is also incorrect. The calculated IV rate of 41.6667 mL/h, when rounded to the nearest whole number, is 42 mL/h. There is no mathematical basis for rounding up to 46 mL/h from 41.6667 mL/h, making this choice invalid.

Choice D: 48 mL/h

Reason: This choice is incorrect as well. The correct calculation yields 41.6667 mL/h, which rounds to 42 mL/h. There is no justification for rounding up to 48 mL/h. This choice does not align with the calculated and rounded IV rate.
