A nurse is evaluating a patient who is suffering from prostatic hypertrophy.
What symptoms associated with urinary retention should the nurse anticipate? (Choose all that apply)

Choice A rationale

Bacteria are not a known risk factor for osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease, not an infectious disease caused by bacteria.

Choice B rationale

Diuretics are a type of medication used to remove excess water from the body. They are not a known risk factor for osteoarthritis.

Choice C rationale

Aging is a risk factor for osteoarthritis. The risk of developing osteoarthritis increases with age.

Choice D rationale

Obesity is a significant risk factor for osteoarthritis. Excess weight puts additional stress on weight-bearing joints, such as the knees and hips, which can lead to the development of osteoarthritis.

The nurse is preparing to administer amoxicillin 350 mg orally. The available amoxicillin is 250 mg per 5 mL.

Step 1: To find out how many mL the nurse should administer, we need to set up a proportion to calculate the dosage. The proportion is set up as follows: 350 mg (desired dose) : X mL (unknown quantity) = 250 mg (available dose) : 5 mL (known quantity)

Step 2: Cross-multiply to solve for X: 350 mg * 5 mL = 250 mg * X mL Step 3: Simplify the equation: 1750 mgmL = 250X mgmL Step 4: Divide both sides by 250 mg to solve for X: X = 1750 mg*mL ÷ 250 mg = 7 mL.So, the nurse should administer 7 mL of amoxicillin.
