A nurse is preparing to administer heparin 15,000 units every 12 hr subcutaneously to a client who weighs 80 kg. Available is 10,000 units/mL. How many mL should the nurse administer with each dose?

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

Choice A reason: Applying restraints to the client is not an appropriate action, as it can cause injury or suffocation to the client during a seizure. The nurse should protect the client from harm by removing any nearby objects and padding the side rails.

Choice B reason: Administering an IV bolus of lorazepam is an appropriate action, as lorazepam is an anticonvulsant drug that can stop or shorten the duration of a seizure by enhancing the inhibitory effects of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain.

Choice C reason: Placing the client in the prone position is not an appropriate action, as it can obstruct the airway and cause respiratory distress or aspiration during a seizure. The nurse should place the client in the side-lying position to facilitate drainage of oral secretions and prevent tongue biting.

Choice D reason: Inserting a tongue blade into the client's mouth is not an appropriate action, as it can cause oral trauma or choking during a seizure. The nurse should never force anything into the client's mouth during a seizure and should allow them to breathe spontaneously.

Choice A reason: Applying moist heat to the incision while in bed is not an appropriate instruction, as it can increase the risk of infection, bleeding, or swelling at the site. The nurse should instruct the client to keep the incision dry and covered with a sterile dressing.

Choice B reason: Performing range of motion by adducting the hip is not an appropriate instruction, as it can cause dislocation or damage to the prosthesis. The nurse should instruct the client to avoid crossing their legs or turning their toes inward and to use an abduction pillow or wedge between their legs.

Choice C reason: Sitting in a straight-backed chair is an appropriate instruction, as it can prevent flexion contractures and promote circulation and healing in the hip joint. The nurse should instruct the client to use a raised toilet seat and a chair with armrests and avoid sitting for longer than 45 min at a time.

Choice D reason: Cleansing the surgical incision with hydrogen peroxide is not an appropriate instruction, as it can irritate or damage the tissue and delay wound healing. The nurse should instruct the client to use mild soap and water or saline solution to clean the incision and pat it dry gently.
