Answer and Explanation

Correct Answer : B,C,D,E

A.   Placing the client in a reclining chair is not recommended as it does not prevent wandering or falls and may even restrict movement leading to discomfort or pressure sores.
B.   Putting locks at the top of doors can prevent the client from wandering outside, which reduces the risk of falls and getting lost, especially during the night.
C.   Encouraging physical activity prior to bedtime can help in expending energy which may lead to better sleep and reduce restlessness and wandering at night.
D.   Positioning the mattress on the floor can minimize injury from falls that may occur when the client attempts to get out of bed during the night.
E.   Installing sensor devices on outside doors can alert the caregiver if the client attempts to leave the house, which is crucial for preventing wandering and potential falls.

Correct Answer is ["10"]

Explanation

First, we need to determine how many milligrams (mg) are in each milliliter (mL) of the solution.

The available methylphenidate oral solution has a concentration of 10 mg per 5 mL.

To find out how many milligrams are in 1 mL of the solution, we divide 10 mg by 5 mL: 10 mg / 5 mL = 2 mg/mL

The child's prescription is for 40 mg per day, divided into two doses. So, each dose should contain:

40 mg / 2 doses = 20 mg per dose 2mg=1ml

20mg= 20*1/2= 10ml

Therefore, the nurse should administer 10 mL of methylphenidate oral solution per dose
