A newborn who weighs 4300 grams is receiving ampicillin 2mg/kg IV once per day.

The vial reads 20mg/mL. How much will the nurse draw up in the syringe for one dose?

(Enter your answer in numbers only. No units.)

Choice A rationale

Reducing carbohydrate intake is part of dietary management in gestational diabetes.

Choice B rationale

Women with gestational diabetes have an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes later in life.

Choice C rationale

Increasing exercise is beneficial for managing blood sugar levels in gestational diabetes.

Choice D rationale

Glyburide is not typically the first-line treatment for gestational diabetes; insulin is often recommended for better control.

Choice A rationale

Documenting the findings in the client's medical record is important but is not the priority action when persistent late decelerations are noted. Immediate interventions are needed to improve fetal oxygenation.

Choice B rationale

Notifying the healthcare provider immediately is crucial as persistent late decelerations indicate fetal distress. The provider can decide on further interventions to ensure the safety of the mother and fetus.

Choice C rationale

Administering a tocolytic medication to stop contractions is not appropriate in this scenario. The priority is to improve fetal oxygenation, not to stop contractions.

Choice D rationale

Repositioning the client to a side-lying position can help improve blood flow to the uterus and placenta, enhancing fetal oxygenation. This is a priority intervention.

Choice E rationale

Administering pain medication to the client is not a priority in this situation. The focus should be on addressing fetal distress and improving oxygenation.

Choice F rationale

Administering oxygen to the client increases the oxygen available to the fetus and is a priority intervention when persistent late decelerations are noted.
