A nurse is preparing to administer diphenhydramine 25 mg PO every 6 hr. to an older adult client who has rhinitis. The amount available is diphenhydramine syrup 12.5 mg/5 mile How many ml should the nurse administer?
(Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

Choice A Reason:
Isopropyl alcohol is the appropriate cleaning agent. While alcohol can be used as a disinfectant for some purposes, it might not be as effective as bleach against bloodborne pathogens like HIV. Bleach is generally recommended for disinfection in this context.
Choice B Reason:
Bleach is recommendable. Bleach is effective in disinfecting surfaces contaminated with bloodborne pathogens, including HIV. It's recommended for cleaning and disinfecting areas contaminated with blood as it can effectively kill many pathogens, including viruses like HIV. The standard recommendation is to create a solution of bleach and water to clean surfaces contaminated with blood.
Choice C Reason:
Hydrogen peroxide is not recommendable. Hydrogen peroxide has some disinfectant properties, but bleach is more effective against bloodborne pathogens like HIV when used to clean contaminated surfaces.
Choice D Reason:
Chlorhexidine is not appropriate. Chlorhexidine is an antiseptic commonly used for skin disinfection before procedures. While it's effective for certain purposes, it's not typically recommended for disinfecting surfaces contaminated with bloodborne pathogens like HIV. Bleach is the preferred agent in such cases.

Choice A Reason:
Absence of Chvostek's sign is a wrong indication. Chvostek's sign is a twitching of facial muscles in response to tapping the facial nerve and is typically associated with low blood calcium levels (hypocalcemia). It's not directly related to hyperglycemia or high blood sugar levels. Hyperglycemia refers to high blood sugar levels, commonly associated with diabetes mellitus.
Choice B Reason:
Presence of Kussmaul respirations is a right indication. Kussmaul respirations are deep, rapid, and labored breathing patterns often seen in individuals with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), a severe complication of diabetes characterized by significantly high blood sugar levels and the presence of ketones in the blood and urine. This type of breathing pattern is the body's attempt to compensate for the acidic state caused by high blood sugar and the buildup of ketones.
Choice C Reason:
Presence of diaphoresis is a wrong indication. Diaphoresis refers to excessive sweating, which can occur due to various reasons such as physical activity, heat, stress, or certain medical conditions. While hyperglycemia can cause symptoms like increased thirst and frequent urination, diaphoresis alone is not a specific indicator of high blood sugar levels.
Choice D Reason:
Absence of urinary ketones is a wrong indication. The presence of urinary ketones indicates the body is breaking down fat for energy, which commonly occurs during periods of insufficient insulin (such as in hyperglycemia or diabetic ketoacidosis). However, the absence of urinary ketones doesn't necessarily rule out hyperglycemia. It's possible for hyperglycemia to be present without ketones in the urine, especially in the early stages or when the body is still managing blood sugar levels without significant ketone production.
