Which would the nurse assess in a child diagnosed with osteomyelitis? Select all that apply.

To calculate the number of tablets to administer, you need to convert the dose to micrograms (mcg) to match the tablet strength:

0.175 mg is equivalent to 175 mcg (since 1 mg = 1000 mcg).

Now, divide the required dose (175 mcg) by the strength of the available tablets (88 mcg/tablet):

175 mcg ÷ 88 mcg/tablet ≈ 1.9886

Rounding to the nearest whole number, you should administer 2 tablets per dose.

A.Pyloric stenosis is a condition where there's narrowing of the opening between the stomach and the small intestine. It is not related to inadequate motility of the intestine.

B.Enterocolitis refers to inflammation of the small intestine and colon. While this can cause obstruction in some cases, it's not the primary cause of inadequate motility as seen in the question.

C.Encopresis is the voluntary or involuntary passage of feces outside the toilet in children who should be toilet trained. It is not a cause of mechanical intestinal obstruction.

D. Hirschsprung's disease is a congenital disorder where there is inadequate motility in part of the intestine, leading to mechanical obstruction. It usually affects the colon and is due to the absence of ganglion cells in the affected segment of the bowel.

So, Hirschsprung's disease is the specific condition that leads to inadequate motility and mechanical obstruction of part of the intestine in infants.
