A nurse is preparing to administer methylphenidate 7.5 mg PO to a school-age child who has ADHD. The amount available is methylphenidate oral solution 5 mg/5 mL. How many mL of the medication should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero)

A. “I may notice an increase in the firmness of my breasts.”: During menopause, breasts typically become less firm and more fatty due to decreased estrogen levels. Loss of glandular tissue and changes in connective tissue elasticity cause breasts to feel softer, not firmer.

B. "My estrogen levels will elevate”: Estrogen levels decline significantly during menopause, not elevate. This hormonal decrease leads to many of the physical and emotional symptoms associated with menopause, including hot flashes, vaginal dryness, and bone density loss.

C. "I may experience more vaginal dryness.": Vaginal dryness is a common and expected symptom during menopause due to the reduction in estrogen. Lower estrogen levels cause thinning and decreased lubrication of the vaginal tissues, often resulting in discomfort during intercourse and increased risk of irritation or infection.

D. "I may become cold more often.": Clients undergoing menopause typically experience hot flashes and night sweats, not an increased tendency to feel cold. Hot flashes are sudden sensations of heat and are one of the most recognized and frequent symptoms of menopausal transition.

A. Document an incident report in a client's medical record: Incident reports are essential for internal documentation but should not be placed in the client’s medical record. Including them in the medical record can lead to legal complications. This action addresses individual events rather than contributing to systematic quality improvement efforts.

B. Notify the provider if a client falls: Notifying the provider about a fall is a necessary clinical step to ensure immediate evaluation and care for the client. However, simply informing the provider does not contribute directly to a quality improvement initiative aimed at analyzing and reducing overall fall rates.

C. Assist with the care of a client who has fallen: Providing immediate care after a fall is crucial to ensure client safety and manage injuries. However, assisting after the fall focuses on acute clinical response rather than on proactive measures to identify trends and reduce the incidence of future falls.

D. Collect data about each fall: Collecting data is a fundamental part of quality improvement projects. By systematically gathering information on when, where, and how falls occur, patterns can be identified, leading to the development of targeted interventions aimed at preventing future incidents.
