Prescribed: enoxaparin 35 mg subcutaneously daily.

Available: enoxaparin 40mg/mL. How many mL will the nurse administer? (Round to the nearest tenth.

One decimal place).

Choice A rationale

Breads are generally well-tolerated and do not contain substances known to irritate the bladder. They are composed primarily of carbohydrates and are not acidic or caffeinated, making them a safe dietary choice for individuals with a urinary tract infection.

Choice B rationale

While some fresh fruits are acidic, many are not strong bladder irritants and contribute to overall hydration and nutrient intake. The impact of specific fruits can vary among individuals, but generally, fresh fruits are not a universal avoidance recommendation for UTIs.

Choice C rationale

Caffeine acts as a diuretic and a bladder irritant. It can increase urinary frequency, urgency, and may exacerbate bladder discomfort and inflammation in individuals with a urinary tract infection by stimulating the bladder detrusor muscle. Therefore, it should be avoided.

Choice D rationale

Cheeses, particularly aged cheeses, do not typically contain compounds that directly irritate the bladder. They are a source of protein and fat, and generally do not contribute to urinary symptoms in the context of a urinary tract infection.

Choice A rationale

Cerebral angiography involves injecting contrast into cerebral arteries to visualize blood vessels, primarily used for conditions like aneurysms or arteriovenous malformations. While some vascular abnormalities can cause seizures, it is not the primary diagnostic test for initial seizure disorder evaluation.

Choice B rationale

Electromyography (EMG) measures the electrical activity of muscles in response to nerve stimulation. It is used to diagnose neuromuscular disorders, such as myasthenia gravis or peripheral neuropathies, and is not the primary diagnostic tool for a seizure disorder.

Choice C rationale

A lumbar puncture involves collecting cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) for analysis, primarily used to diagnose infections, inflammatory conditions, or certain neurological disorders. While it might be performed in some seizure contexts to rule out infection, it is not the initial or primary test for seizure disorder diagnosis.

Choice D rationale

Electroencephalography (EEG) records the electrical activity of the brain. It is the gold standard for diagnosing seizure disorders because it can detect abnormal neuronal discharges characteristic of seizures and help classify seizure types, providing crucial information for treatment planning.
