A nurse is preparing to administer ampicillin 500 mg via intermittent IV bolus over 30 min. Available is 500 mg ampicillin in 50 mL dextrose 5% in water (DSW). The nurse should set the pump to deliver how many mL/hr?

(Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

Using a bronchodilator 1 hour before eating can help reduce dyspnea and improve appetite for a client who has COPD. It can also facilitate oxygen delivery to the tissues and prevent hypoxia.

b) Eating 3 large meals each day is not recommended for a client who has COPD, as it can cause abdominal distension and increase pressure on the diaphragm, leading to dyspnea and fatigue. A better option is to eat 5 to 6 small meals throughout the day.
c) Limiting water intake with meals is not advisable for a client who has COPD, as it can cause dehydration and increase the viscosity of secretions, making them harder to expectorate. A better option is to drink at least 2 L of fluids per day, preferably between meals.
d) Reducing protein intake is not beneficial for a client who has COPD, as protein is essential for maintaining muscle mass and strength, especially of the respiratory muscles. A better option is to increase protein intake to at least 1.2 g/kg of body weight per day.

Hyperextended position, or backward bending of the neck, is the correct position for the client's neck during a bronchoscopy procedure with a rigid scope and general anesthesia. This position allows the provider to insert the scope through the mouth and into the trachea and bronchi, while avoiding injury to the teeth, tongue, or larynx. It also facilitates visualization of the airways and removal of foreign bodies or secretions.

b) Neutral position, or alignment of the head and neck with the spine, is not the correct position for the client's neck during a bronchoscopy procedure with a rigid scope and general anesthesia. This position may interfere with the insertion of the scope and cause damage to the oral structures or airways.
c) Extended position, or forward bending of the neck, is not the correct position for the client's neck during a bronchoscopy procedure with a rigid scope and general anesthesia. This position may obstruct the airway and make it difficult for the provider to insert the scope and access the bronchi.
d) Flexed position, or downward bending of the neck, is not the correct position for the client's neck during a bronchoscopy procedure with a rigid scope and general anesthesia. This position may compress the airway and prevent adequate ventilation and oxygenation of the client.
