An infant who weighs 22 pounds receives a prescription for amoxicillin 20 mg/kg/day by mouth in divided doses every 8 hours. The bottle is labeled, "Amoxicillin for Oral Suspension, USP 250 mg per 5 mL." How many mL should the nurse administer with each dose? (Enter numerical value only. If rounding is necessary, round to the nearest tenth.)

Given the client's difficulty with memory, concentration, and recent life changes, it is

important for the nurse to acknowledge the possibility of delirium as a potential cause of the client's symptoms. Delirium is an acute state of confusion that can be caused by various factors, including physical illness, medication side effects, and emotional stressors. It is often reversible when the underlying cause is identified and treated.

By mentioning the possibility of delirium and its potential reversibility, the nurse opens up the conversation to exploring other factors that may be contributing to the client's symptoms. This response also provides hope to the family by suggesting that the client's condition may improve with appropriate interventions and management.

Stating that dementia resulting from Alzheimer's disease is often reversible even in the late stages is incorrect. Alzheimer's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that currently has no cure, and the symptoms tend to worsen over time.

Reversibility is not typically associated with Alzheimer's disease.

Indicating that the client's symptoms of dementia are permanent due to age is a generalization and may not be accurate. While age is a risk factor for certain types of dementia, such as Alzheimer's disease, it does not mean that all memory and cognitive difficulties in older adults are irreversible.

Suggesting that delirium is often a sign of underlying mental illness and institutionalization is necessary is not appropriate. Delirium is a medical condition that requires thorough assessment and appropriate management, including addressing any underlying causes. Institutionalization may be considered in certain situations, but it is not the primary focus of communication in this context.

Tertiary prevention programs focus on minimizing the impact of an existing disease or condition and preventing further complications or disability. In the context of cardiovascular disease, one of the goals of tertiary prevention is to provide prompt rehabilitation for clients who have incurred disease complications.

By ensuring that clients who experience complications promptly receive rehabilitation services, the program is effectively addressing the needs of these clients and providing appropriate interventions to minimize the long-term impact of the disease. This outcome indicates that the program is successful in providing the necessary care and support to clients with cardiovascular disease.

Client relapse rate of 30% in a 5-year community-wide anti-smoking campaign focuses on primary prevention rather than tertiary prevention.

At-risk clients receiving an increased number of routine health screenings may be an indicator of improved secondary prevention efforts, but it does not specifically measure the effectiveness of the tertiary prevention program for clients with cardiovascular disease.

Clients reporting new confidence in making healthy food choices is a positive outcome but does not directly reflect the effectiveness of the tertiary prevention program for cardiovascular disease.
