The healthcare provider prescribes allopurinol 0.2 grams PO for a client with gout. The available medication is labeled, "Allopurinol tablets 200 mg." How many tablets should the nurse administer? (Enter numerical value only, rounded to the nearest whole number.)

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is ["1"]

1 gram= 1000mg
0.2 grams = 200 milligrams

Since each tablet is 200 mg, the nurse should administer:

200 mg ÷ 200 mg/tablet = 1 tablet

Therefore, the nurse should administer 1 tablet of allopurinol.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

D. Hinge joints are primarily involved in flexion and extension movements. In the case of the arm, the elbow joint is a hinge joint, and bending the arm by flexing the ulna (forearm bone) toward the humerus (upper arm bone) is an example of a movement that exercises this type of joint.

A. This action primarily involves the cervical (neck) spine and the atlantoaxial joint, allowing rotation of the head from side to side. However, these are not hinge joints

B. This action involves movements of the shoulder joint, which is a ball-and-socket joint allowing for a wide range of motion.

C. Tilting the pelvis forwards and backwards primarily involves movements of the hip joint, which is also a ball-and-socket joint.

A. Teach the client to shorten the stride to prevent falls. B. Record the client's ability to perform ADLs safely. C. Initiate a fall risk protocol for the client. D. Determine the client's activity tolerance.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

B. Observing the client's upright posture and smooth, steady gait suggests that she is able to ambulate safely without significant risk of falls.

A. This action may be appropriate if the nurse had observed an unsteady or shuffling gait that could increase the risk of falls. However, in this scenario, the nurse has noted that the client's gait is smooth and steady, indicating good balance and stability.

C. The client's upright posture and smooth, steady gait suggest that she has good mobility and balance, which are not indicative of an increased risk of falls.

D. The client's ability to ambulate with an upright posture and smooth, steady gait indicates that she is tolerating activity well. However, the primary focus at this point should be on documenting her functional abilities and assessing her level of independence in performing ADLs safely.
