A nurse is preparing to administer amoxicillin 350 mg PO. The amount available is amoxicillin oral solution 250 mg/5 mL. How many ml. should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth/whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

A. Avoid a diet consisting of primarily milk. Milk, especially cow’s milk, is low in iron and can inhibit iron absorption. Excessive milk consumption can also lead to iron deficiency anemia by displacing iron-rich foods from the diet and potentially causing gastrointestinal bleeding in infants. Limiting milk intake and ensuring a balanced diet can help prevent iron deficiency.

B. Include whole grains and legumes in the diet. Whole grains and legumes are good sources of nonheme iron, which is beneficial for preventing iron deficiency anemia. While this is a good dietary recommendation, infants might not consume enough of these foods to meet their iron needs without additional sources or supplements.

C. Administer fat-soluble vitamins daily. Rationale: Fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) are not directly related to preventing iron deficiency anemia. They are important for other aspects of health, but they do not address iron intake or absorption.

D. Limit intake of high-protein foods. Rationale: High-protein foods like meat are often rich in heme iron, which is easily absorbed and important for preventing anaemia. Limiting these foods would not be beneficial and might even contribute to anemia.

A. "I will immediately report irregular respirations." Irregular respirations can be normal in infants, as their breathing patterns are often irregular. Immediate reporting is not typically necessary unless there are other signs of distress.

B. "I will immediately report a respiratory rate of 28." A respiratory rate of 28 is low for a 1-month-old infant, but immediate reporting depends on the overall clinical picture and other signs of distress. Normal respiratory rates for this age are usually between 30-60 breaths per minute.

C. "I will count the baby's respirations for 30 seconds and multiply by two." While this method is used for older children and adults, it’s not ideal for infants due to their irregular breathing patterns. Counting for a full minute provides a more accurate assessment.

D. "I will count the baby's respirations by observing abdominal movements." This is correct. In infants, respiration is primarily diaphragmatic, making abdominal movements a reliable indicator of respiratory rate.
