A nurse is preparing to administer liquid mycostatin 600,000 units PO TID. Available is mycostatin 100,000 units/mL. How many m. should the

nurse administer per dose? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

Choice a reason:
Slightly below the umbilicus is not the expected location for the fundus at 22 weeks of gestation. Typically, the fundus is located at the level of the umbilicus at 20 weeks and rises about 1 cm above the umbilicus each week thereafter.

Choice b reason:
3 cm above the umbilicus would be more consistent with a gestational age of approximately 23 weeks, as the fundus rises approximately 1 cm per week after reaching the level of the umbilicus at 20 weeks.

Choice C rationale: At 22 weeks of gestation, the fundus is typically located slightly above the umbilicus. The uterus has grown sufficiently by this stage to reach this position, aligning with the expected fundal height measurements. This corresponds with normal pregnancy progression, as fundal height in centimeters is expected to approximate the gestational age in weeks.

Choice D rationale: By 22 weeks of gestation, the fundus has already risen above the umbilicus, so palpating the fundus 3 cm below the umbilicus is inconsistent with normal pregnancy progression. Earlier in pregnancy, such as around 16 to 18 weeks, the fundus might be found below the umbilicus, but this does not apply at 22 weeks.

Choice A reason:
Introducing fluoride supplements to a newborn is not typically recommended until the age of 6 months, unless advised by a healthcare provider due to specific water supply conditions. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) suggests that fluoride supplementation should begin at 6 months if the water supply is deficient in fluoride.

Choice B reason:
Cow's milk is not recommended for infants under the age of 1 year. Introducing cow's milk before this age can lead to iron deficiency and potentially cause harm to the infant's developing kidneys. It also lacks the proper nutrients that infants require, which are found in breast milk or formula.

Choice C reason:
The AAP recommends that fruit juice should not be introduced to infants before 6 months of age. Before this age, babies should only be fed breast milk or formula. Introducing fruit juice too early can contribute to excessive weight gain and tooth decay.

Choice D reason:
The introduction of solid foods is recommended to start at around 6 months of age. Starting solid foods at 3 months is too early and can increase the risk of choking and may lead to the development of food allergies.
