A nurse is preparing to administer 40 mg of furosemide intravenously.

The available furosemide is 10 mg/1 mL. How many mL should the nurse administer per dose? Round the answer to the nearest whole number.

Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.

Choice C rationale
Patients with Ménière’s disease are often advised to limit or avoid foods high in sodium, such as canned soup. High sodium intake can increase fluid retention, which can exacerbate the symptoms of Ménière’s disease, such as vertigo, tinnitus, and hearing loss.
Choice A rationale
There is no specific recommendation for patients with Ménière’s disease to limit or avoid red meat. However, a balanced diet that includes lean proteins is generally recommended for overall health.
Choice B rationale
Frozen yogurt is not specifically contraindicated for patients with Ménière’s disease. However, patients should be mindful of the sugar content, as high sugar intake can potentially trigger symptoms.

Choice D rationale
Shellfish is not specifically contraindicated for patients with Ménière’s disease. However, patients should be mindful of the preparation method and any added sodium, which can exacerbate symptoms.

Choice A rationale
If a patient is suspected of having meningitis, the provider will likely prescribe antibiotic therapy after reviewing the lab results. Meningitis is often caused by a bacterial infection, and antibiotics are the primary treatment. The specific antibiotic prescribed will depend on the type of bacteria causing the infection.
Choice B rationale
Antiemetics are medications that help prevent and treat nausea and vomiting. They are not typically used as the primary treatment for meningitis.
Choice C rationale

Analgesics are medications that relieve pain. While they may be used to help manage symptoms in a patient with meningitis, they are not used to treat the underlying infection.
Choice D rationale
Antiviral therapy may be used if the meningitis is caused by a viral infection. However, most cases of meningitis are caused by bacteria, and antibiotics are the primary treatment.
