A 2-year-old is being treated for a pneumonia. The health care provider orders 15mg/kg of amoxicillin/clavulanic acid to be administered every 12 hours. The child weighs 25 pounds. The elixir comes in a strength of 250 mg/5 mL. How many mL of amoxicillin/clavulanic acid should the nurse administer to this child per dose? mL (Round to the nearest tenth)

A. Fatigue is a common symptom of TB, especially in the early stages. The body's energy is used up fighting the infection, leading to feelings of tiredness.
B. Night sweats are another common symptom of TB. The body's immune system works harder at night, leading to excessive sweating.
C. While neuropathy can be a potential complication of TB, it's not a typical clinical manifestation in the early stages. Neuropathy is more likely to occur in advanced cases or if the TB infection has spread to other parts of the body.
D. TB can cause weight loss due to decreased appetite, increased metabolic rate, and the body's use of energy to fight the infection.
E. A cough is a common symptom of TB. In the early stages, the cough may be dry or non-productive, meaning there's no phlegm or mucus.
F. A low-grade fever is another common symptom of TB. The body's temperature rises slightly as it fights the infection.

A. While obtaining a peak flow reading can provide valuable information about the child’s lung function and severity of the exacerbation, it is not the priority action during a status asthmaticus situation. The immediate focus should be on reversing the acute bronchospasm and ensuring the child can breathe effectively.
B. Identifying the cause of the asthma exacerbation (such as allergens, respiratory infections, or environmental factors) is important for long-term management and prevention. However, during a crisis, the priority is to address the immediate respiratory distress rather than to investigate the underlying cause.
C. Short-acting beta-2 agonists (e.g., albuterol) are the first-line treatment during an acute asthma exacerbation because they work quickly to relax bronchial smooth muscle and relieve airway obstruction. Administering a SABA can rapidly improve the child's breathing and oxygenation.
D. Inhaled glucocorticoids (e.g., fluticasone) are used to reduce inflammation in the airways and are important in long-term asthma management. However, they do not act as quickly as SABAs and are not the first step in the acute management of status asthmaticus. While they may be part of the treatment plan, they should follow the administration of a SABA during an acute episode.
