A nurse is preparing to administer amoxicillin 350 mg PO. The available amoxicillin is 250 mg/5 mL. How many mL should the nurse administer? (Round to the nearest whole number.)

The correct answer is choice A: Provide an adaptive feeding device for the client.

Choice A rationale: Providing an adaptive feeding device, such as a built-up utensil or a swivel spoon, can help clients with limited hand movement feed themselves independently. These devices are designed to make grasping and manipulating utensils easier, promoting independence and self-care.

Choice B rationale: Placing the client in a lateral position might not directly address the issue of limited hand movement, and it could even make feeding more challenging. This position is typically used for clients with swallowing difficulties or those at risk of aspiration.

Choice C rationale: Arranging food groups clockwise on the plate may help clients with visual impairments or cognitive issues, but it would not directly assist a client with limited hand movement during feeding.

Choice D rationale: Initiating a liquid diet for the client is not the most appropriate initial action to address limited hand movement. This might be considered as a last resort if the client is unable to feed themselves with any type of adaptive device or assistance. The priority should be promoting independence and providing appropriate tools to support self-feeding.

Choice A rationale
It is a good practice to change the batteries in smoke detectors annually to ensure they are working properly. This statement does not indicate a need for further instruction.
Choice B rationale
Using a walker when going upstairs can be dangerous due to the risk of falls. It is recommended that individuals use handrails or assistance when navigating stairs, not a walker. This statement indicates that the client needs further instruction.
Choice C rationale
Leaving a night light on can help prevent falls by providing visibility during the night. This statement does not indicate a need for further instruction.
Choice D rationale

Installing grab bars in the bathroom, especially near the toilet and in the shower, can provide support and prevent falls. This statement does not indicate a need for further instruction.
