A nurse is caring for a client who reports taking 0.5 oz of diphenhydramine elixir every night to sleep. The concentration on the client's bottle reads diphenhydramine 12.5 mg/5 mL. How many mg of diphenhydramine is the client taking each night? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

A. Hospice care services: Hospice care is designed for clients with terminal illnesses who require end-of-life care. Crohn’s disease and an ileostomy do not indicate a terminal condition, making hospice services inappropriate for this client.

B. Long-term care facility: Long-term care facilities are for clients who need continuous medical or personal care and are unable to live independently. Most clients with an ileostomy can manage their care at home with proper education and support, making this resource unnecessary.

C. Rehabilitation center: Rehabilitation centers are primarily for clients recovering from major injuries, strokes, or surgeries that impair mobility or function. While an ileostomy requires adjustment, it does not typically necessitate inpatient rehabilitation.

D. Visiting nurse services: Home health nurses provide essential support for clients with a new ileostomy by assisting with ostomy care, monitoring for complications, and reinforcing self-care education. This service helps facilitate a smoother transition to independent ostomy management.

A. "I cook my partner's favorite foods.": Preparing meals can be a way to show love and care, but it does not necessarily indicate effective coping. It may serve as a distraction, but it does not address emotional or social well-being.

B. "I make a list of all the things I need to do.": Creating lists can help with organization, but it does not directly reflect emotional coping. It may indicate a focus on tasks rather than emotional processing or seeking support.

C. "I have lunch with my friends once a week.": Maintaining social connections is a sign of effective coping, as it provides emotional support and an opportunity to share feelings. Engaging in enjoyable activities outside of caregiving responsibilities helps reduce stress.

D. "I am unable to fall asleep right away.": Difficulty sleeping is a common response to stress but suggests ongoing emotional distress rather than effective coping. Persistent sleep disturbances may require further assessment and support.
