A nurse is preparing to administer aspirin 650 mg PO. The available medication is aspirin 325 mg tablets. How many tablets should the nurse administer?

Choice A rationale
Placing a bath seat in the shower is a good safety measure for a patient with a history of falls. It allows the patient to sit while bathing, reducing the risk of slipping and falling.
Choice B rationale

Keeping the fluorescent ceiling light on in the room at night can actually increase the risk of falls. It can create shadows and glare that can be disorienting, especially for older adults.
Choice C rationale
Placing an area rug at the entry of the bathroom is not recommended. Rugs can easily become tripping hazards, especially if they’re not secured to the floor.
Choice D rationale
Keeping a walker at the end of the bed can be helpful for some patients, but it’s not the best indication that the patient understands home safety instructions. It’s important that the walker is used correctly and that the patient’s home is arranged to accommodate its use.

Choice A rationale
The prone position, which involves lying flat on the stomach, is not typically recommended for a child with respiratory failure due to pneumonia. While prone positioning can be beneficial in

certain cases of severe acute respiratory distress syndrome, it does not generally allow for maximal lung expansion.
Choice B rationale
The supine position, which involves lying flat on the back, is not typically recommended for a child with respiratory failure due to pneumonia. This position can make it more difficult for the lungs to expand fully, potentially worsening respiratory distress.
Choice C rationale
The side-lying position is not typically recommended for a child with respiratory failure due to pneumonia. While this position can be comfortable for resting, it does not generally allow for maximal lung expansion.
Choice D rationale
The upright position is typically recommended for a child with respiratory failure due to pneumonia. Sitting upright can help to maximize lung expansion and improve oxygenation.
