Which class of antihypertensive agents should be avoided by patients with asthma?

1 kilogram equals 2.2 pounds. The child weighs 20 pounds, which is approximately 9.09 kilograms (20 / 2.2).

The dosage prescribed is 10 mg/kg, so the child's dose is 90.9 mg (10 mg/kg * 9.09 kg).

Since the available medication concentration is 100 mg/5 mL, divide the dose needed by the concentration to find the volume to administer: 90.9 mg * (5 mL / 100 mg) equals 4.545 mL.

Rounded to the nearest tenth, the nurse should administer 4.5 mL of ibuprofen.

A. A fracture involving the epiphyseal plate (growth plate) can lead to differential growth in the affected limb. If a fracture occurs before the growth plate has closed, it can potentially result in the shorter leg as the growth in that limb may be inhibited compared to the unaffected leg.
B. While scoliosis can lead to asymmetrical body positioning and potentially cause a perception of leg length discrepancy, it does not typically cause a true difference in bone length. Instead, scoliosis affects the spine's curvature and may alter posture, but it’s not a direct cause of one leg being shorter than the
other.
C. A comminuted clavicle fracture primarily affects the shoulder and does not impact leg length. It involves the upper limb and does not contribute to any differences in the lengths of the legs, making this option irrelevant to the observed leg length discrepancy.
D. JIA can lead to joint inflammation and may affect limb growth if it causes significant damage to the joints. However, while it can potentially cause some discrepancies in limb length due to joint issues, it is less directly associated with one leg being shorter than the other compared to an epiphyseal plate fracture.
