A nurse is preparing to administer an injection of 0.25 mg subcutaneous terbutaline to a client who is in preterm labor. The amount available is 1 mg/ml. How many ml should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest hundredth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero)

A. Ask the client to identify what made them upset: The first action should be to assess and de-escalate the situation using therapeutic communication. Asking the client to verbalize their feelings can help reduce agitation, promote self-awareness, and prevent escalation.

B. Assist the client with understanding their needs: Helping the client understand their needs is important but comes after first addressing and calming their immediate emotional agitation through assessment and supportive conversation.

C. Place the client in seclusion: Seclusion is a last-resort intervention when the client poses a danger to themselves or others and less restrictive measures have failed. It should not be the first action without attempting de-escalation techniques.

D. Administer lorazepam IM: Administering medication is appropriate if non-pharmacological interventions fail. However, medication should not be the first response before attempting verbal de-escalation strategies in an agitated client.

A. Discontinue use of electronics 30 min before bedtime: The use of electronics before bedtime can disrupt the body's natural sleep cycle by suppressing melatonin production. Stopping electronic use at least 30 minutes before bed promotes relaxation and better sleep quality.

B. Drink a cup of coffee 1 hr before bedtime: Caffeine is a stimulant that can interfere with falling asleep and maintaining deep sleep. Consuming coffee close to bedtime would likely worsen sleep disturbances rather than help.

C. Consume a meal 1 hr before bedtime: Eating a large meal close to bedtime can cause discomfort, indigestion, and difficulty falling asleep. Light snacks are acceptable, but heavy meals should be avoided before sleeping.

D. Exercise 1 hr before bedtime: Vigorous exercise shortly before bedtime can increase adrenaline and body temperature, making it harder to fall asleep. Exercise is better scheduled earlier in the day to support restful sleep.
