A nurse is preparing to administer vancomycin 250 mg PO. The amount available is vancomycin 125 mg/ capsule. How many capsules should the nurse administer to the client with each dose? (Round to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

A. A person with diabetes who requires hospitalization for cellulitis: Cellulitis may not necessarily be a healthcare-associated infection unless it developed as a complication during the hospitalization.
B. Pneumonia in a hospitalized patient: Pneumonia acquired during a hospital stay is considered a healthcare-associated infection (HAI) because it develops after 48 hours of hospital admission.
C. Chronic urinary tract infection for a homebound patient: A chronic urinary tract infection in a homebound patient is not automatically considered a healthcare-associated infection unless it can be directly linked to healthcare interventions or devices.
D. A sexually transmitted infection in a healthy young adult: Sexually transmitted infections are not healthcare-associated infections as they are typically acquired through sexual contact rather than healthcare settings.

A. Skin lesions are seen as solid predictors of the general health state: While skin lesions can provide valuable information about a patient's health, they are not the only indicator. Changes in the skin can indicate various health conditions, not just lesions.
B. The patient's psychological health is best predicted by the skin: While changes in the skin can sometimes be associated with psychological health conditions, they are not the sole predictors. Psychological health is assessed through a comprehensive evaluation, including observation, interview, and assessment tools.
C. Detection of skin cancer is the only reason to assess the client's skin: While skin cancer detection is an important aspect of skin assessment, it is not the only reason. Skin assessment provides valuable information about overall health, hydration status, circulation, and potential systemic conditions.
D. The skin is a good communicator regarding the client's overall health: The skin can provide valuable clues about a patient's overall health status. Changes in skin color, texture, moisture, and integrity can indicate underlying health conditions, nutritional deficiencies, circulation problems, or systemic diseases. Therefore, focusing on any changes noted in the patient's skin is essential for comprehensive assessment and early detection of potential health issues.
