Correct Answer is ["2"]

Explanation

Step 1: The total amount of olanzapine required per dose is 20 mg.

Step 2: Each tablet contains 10 mg of olanzapine.

Step 3: To find out how many tablets are needed, we divide the total amount required by the amount in each tablet. So, 20 mg ÷ 10 mg/tablet.

Step 4: The result is 2 tablets.

So, the nurse should administer 2 tablets per dose. This is already a whole number, so no rounding is necessary.

A. "The kidney infection has caused narrowing of the ureters, and your abdomen has filled with fluid." B. "The kidneys continue to enlarge due to the cysts growing, which increases the girth of your abdomen." C. "The stones might descend into the ureters, blocking the flow of urine and causing an increase in the girth of your abdomen." D. "The in?ammation in your kidneys damages the filtration system, which causes fluid retention in your abdomen."

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

Choice A reason: While kidney infections can cause swelling, they typically do not lead to a significant increase in abdominal girth unless associated with severe obstruction or advanced kidney disease.

Choice B reason: In PKD, the kidneys can become significantly enlarged due to the growth of numerous cysts, which

can indeed lead to an increase in abdominal girth.

Choice C reason: While stones can cause blockage and swelling, they would not typically result in a generalized increase in abdominal girth unless there is an associated infection or severe obstruction.

Choice D reason: Inflammation can lead to fluid retention, but in the context of PKD, it is the cysts' growth that primarily contributes to increased kidney size and abdominal girth.
