A nurse is preparing to administer ceftazidime 2 g via intermittent IV over 30 min to a client who has osteomyelitis. The amount available is ceftazidime 2 g/50 mL. The nurse should set the IV 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.)

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is ["100"]

IV pump rate= (Volume to be infused (mL) × 60) / Time of infusion (min).

For the given scenario, the nurse has 50 mL to infuse over 30 minutes. Using the formula, Pump rate= (50 mL × 60) / 30 min= 100 mL/hr.

Therefore, the nurse should set the IV pump to deliver 100 mL/hr.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

C. This statement shows understanding of precautions to prevent exposure to toxoplasmosis, a common opportunistic infection in individuals with compromised immune systems, including those with AIDS. Toxoplasmosis can be transmitted through handling cat feces.

A This statement suggests a general intention to improve nutrition, which is beneficial for overall health but does not specifically address infection control or prevention of opportunistic infections related to AIDS. While a healthy diet supports immune function indirectly, it does not directly demonstrate understanding of specific precautions needed due to AIDS.

B. This statement reflects a misunderstanding because HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus), which causes AIDS, does not survive long outside the body and cannot be transmitted through clothing.

Sterilizing clothes at a dry cleaner is unnecessary for preventing the spread of HIV.

D HIV can be effectively killed with regular household cleaners (such as bleach solutions), but alcohol alone may not be sufficient. Proper disposal of contaminated materials is important, but the method described does not accurately reflect infection control measures for HIV.

A. Kussmaul respirations B. Increased urine output C. Cool, clammy skin D. Acetone breath

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

C. Cool, clammy skin is a common symptom of hypoglycemia. When blood sugar levels drop too low, the body's sympathetic nervous system is activated, causing sweating and cool, clammy skin as a response to the stress of low blood sugar.

A Kussmaul respirations are deep, rapid, and labored breathing patterns that occur in response to diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), a complication of hyperglycemia rather than hypoglycemia. In hypoglycemia, the body typically responds with normal or shallow respirations.

B Increased urine output (polyuria) is more commonly associated with hyperglycemia, where the kidneys try to excrete excess glucose through urine. Hypoglycemia typically does not cause increased urine output.

D. Acetone breath, which has a fruity odor, is associated with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), a condition caused by severe hyperglycemia and metabolic acidosis. It is not a typical finding in hypoglycemia.
