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 B

Explanation

A. Emptying the sample into the 24-hour container would mix the previously voided urine with the new collection, leading to inaccurate results.

B. The nurse should discard the urine that was collected earlier and start the collection process anew with the next void. This ensures that the entire 24-hour urine output is collected accurately.

C. The collection can be started immediately with the next void, even if it's a few hours after the original start time.

D. Observing the sample for sediment does not address the need for a complete 24-hour collection.

A. Remove tubing while eating. B. Keep the tank in a cool place. C. Avoid direct skin contact. D. Place a pad around the tank.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

C. Oxygen is a highly combustible gas, and direct contact with oil or grease can increase the risk of fire. Therefore, avoiding direct skin contact helps minimize this risk.

A. Clients should not remove the oxygen tubing while eating. It’s essential to continue oxygen

therapy during meals to maintain adequate oxygen levels.

B. Oxygen tanks should be stored in a well-ventilated area but not in a confined space. Avoid extreme temperatures (both hot and cold) and direct sunlight.

D. Although it’s essential to secure oxygen tanks to prevent tipping, placing a pad around the

tank is not a standard safety practice.
