Correct Answer is {"dropdown-group-1":"A","dropdown-group-2":"A"}

Explanation

Option 1: Intracranial hemorrhage: The client’s recent fall, worsening headache, unilateral pupil dilation, right-sided weakness, and decreasing Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) indicate a potential neurological injury, which is concerning for intracranial hemorrhage.

Option 2: Glasgow Coma Scale: The client's GCS has progressively declined (from 15 to 13), indicating a decrease in neurological function, which is critical in assessing intracranial pressure and risk for hemorrhage.

Correct Answer is ["2.5"]

Explanation

To calculate the correct dosage of liquid famotidine, the nurse needs to use the formula: (desired dose / available dose) x available volume. In this case, the desired dose is 20 mg, and the available dose is 40 mg in 5 mL. Using the formula, the calculation would be: (20 mg / 40 mg) x 5 mL = 0.5 x 5 mL = 2.5 mL. Therefore, the nurse should administer 2.5 mL of liquid famotidine every 6 hours to the client with GERD.
