Which description of stool is characteristic of intussusception?

The correct answer is choice C. Activity intolerance related to generalized weakness.

Choice A rationale:

Risk for injury related to depressed sensorium. This choice is not the most appropriate nursing diagnosis for a child with moderate anemia. While anemia can lead to fatigue and weakness, the main concern is the child's ability to tolerate physical activities, not the risk of injury due to a depressed sensorium.

Choice B rationale:

Decreased cardiac output related to abnormal hemoglobin. This choice is not the most suitable nursing diagnosis for a child with moderate anemia. While abnormal hemoglobin levels can affect cardiac output, moderate anemia typically doesn't lead to such a significant decrease in cardiac output that it becomes the primary nursing diagnosis. Activity intolerance is a more relevant concern.

Choice C rationale:

Activity intolerance related to generalized weakness. This is the most appropriate nursing diagnosis for a child diagnosed with moderate anemia. Moderate anemia results in a decrease in oxygen-carrying capacity, leading to generalized weakness and reduced ability to perform physical activities without becoming fatigued. The child's hemoglobin levels are likely low enough to cause noticeable activity intolerance.

Choice D rationale:

Risk for Injury related to dehydration and abnormal hemoglobin. This choice is not the best nursing diagnosis for a child with moderate anemia. Dehydration may exacerbate the effects of anemia, but the primary issue here is the anemia itself causing weakness and activity intolerance, which are better addressed with the choice C diagnosis.

Step 1 is converting the child's weight from pounds to kilograms. (42 lb ÷ 2.2) = 19.09090909 kg

Step 2 is calculating the maximum daily dosage using the upper limit of the dosage range (50 mg/kg/day). 19.09090909 kg × 50 mg/kg/day = 954.5454545 mg/day

Step 3 is rounding the result to the nearest tenth. The answer is 954.5
