A nurse measures a client's weight as 70 kg and height as 1.1 m. What is the client's body mass index? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

Choice A reason: A pump is usually needed to administer intermittent tube feedings, as it can control the flow rate and volume of the formula. A pump can also prevent overfeeding, aspiration, or diarrhea.

Choice B reason: Administering feedings over 10 to 20 minutes is too fast, as it can cause abdominal cramps, nausea, vomiting, or dumping syndrome. Intermittent tube feedings should be administered over 30 to 60 minutes.

Choice C reason: Administering feedings while sleeping at night is not recommended, as it can increase the risk of aspiration, reflux, or infection. Intermittent tube feedings should be administered during waking hours and with the head of the bed elevated at least 30 degrees.

Choice D reason: Advancing the rate of feedings slowly is advisable, as it can help the body adjust to the formula and prevent intolerance or complications. The rate should be increased gradually until the desired goal is reached.

Choice A reason: The client's creatinine level of 1.0 mg/dL is within the normal range, but it does not indicate that the treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia has been effective. Creatinine is a waste product of muscle metabolism that is filtered by the kidneys and excreted in urine. It reflects the kidney function, not the prostate condition.

Choice B reason: The client's urine output of 35 mL/hr is below the normal range, which is 40 to 60 mL/hr. This indicates that the client may have dehydration, kidney impairment, or urinary retention, which are complications of benign prostatic hyperplasia. A low urine output does not indicate that the treatment has been effective.

Choice C reason: The client's stool color and consistency are not related to the treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia. Stool characteristics depend on various factors, such as diet, medication, and bowel function. A soft, brown stool does not indicate that the treatment has been effective.

Choice D reason: The client's ability to urinate without straining is a sign that the treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia has been effective. Benign prostatic hyperplasia is a condition in which the prostate gland enlarges and compresses the urethra, causing difficulty in urination. A treatment that reduces the size of the prostate or relaxes the bladder neck muscles can improve the urine flow and reduce the straining.
