A client weighs 214 lb. What is the clients weight in kg? (Record answer to the nearest tenth, or one decimal place. Do not use a trailing zero.)

a) This is false because oral medications can be given to infants if they are in liquid form, have a suitable dose, and are administered with a dropper or syringe. However, oral medications should be given with caution and only when prescribed by a doctor.

b) This is false because lipid-soluble drugs are not easily passed into breast milk and do not affect breastfeeding infants. However, some drugs can be harmful to breastfeeding infants and should be avoided or used with caution by nursing mothers.

c) Immaturity of renal function in infancy affects drug excretion, potentially leading to prolonged drug effects and increased risk of toxicity.

d) Infants are more sensitive to medications that act on the central nervous system, and dose adjustments may be needed to prevent adverse effects.

e) Immature liver function in infants can slow down drug metabolism and elimination, leading to a higher risk of drug accumulation and toxicity.

A) The nurse should hold the administration of oral metoprolol 25 mg if the blood pressure of the patient is 92/44 mmHg, as this indicates hypotension, which can be worsened by the beta blocker effect of metoprolol.

B) A respiratory rate of 26 breaths per minute is within the acceptable range for administering metoprolol.

C) A heart rate of 92 beats per minute is within the acceptable range for administering metoprolol.

D) Holding the administration of metoprolol may be appropriate if the oxygen saturation level is low. Metoprolol is primarily used for heart rate and blood pressure control and may not be the immediate concern in a client with low oxygen saturation. The healthcare provider should be consulted for further guidance.
