The healthcare provider prescribes amoxicillin 1.5 grams PO daily, in equally divided doses to be administered every 8 hours. The medication is available in a bottle labeled, "Amoxicillin suspension 200 mg/5 mL."

How many mL should the nurse administer every 8 hours?

(Enter numeric value only. If rounding is required, round to the nearest tenth.)

After listening to the client's symptoms, the nurse realizes that she likely has acute stress disorderrelated to traumatic stress

Acute Stress Disorder: This diagnosis fits because the client is experiencing significant distress and anxiety related to the traumatic event (her house collapsing during a hurricane). Acute stress disorder is characterized by intrusive thoughts, nightmares, flashbacks, and avoidance behaviors following exposure to a traumatic event. The client's symptoms of persistent thoughts about the event, difficulty sleeping due to these thoughts, and feeling unable to return to her previous emotional state ("funk") are indicative of acute stress disorder.

Traumatic Stress: This describes the source of the client's symptoms. The collapse of her house during a hurricane is a traumatic event that has triggered her acute stress disorder symptoms. Traumatic stress refers to the psychological and emotional response to a deeply distressing or disturbing event.

Rationale

A. Evacuation centers often accommodate a large number of people in close proximity. This can lead to increased transmission of infectious agents, including those causing diarrheal illnesses, through person- to-person contact or contaminated surfaces.

B. Hurricanes can cause flooding, which may overwhelm sewage systems and lead to contamination of drinking water sources. Consuming water contaminated by sewage can introduce pathogens that cause diarrheal diseases, such as bacteria like Escherichia coli or viruses like norovirus.

C. Flood waters can contaminate food supplies in various ways, such as direct contact with contaminated water, improper storage, or inadequate cooking or refrigeration. Consuming

contaminated food can result in diarrheal illnesses due to ingestion of pathogens like bacteria or parasites.

D. Nosocomial infections refer to infections acquired in healthcare settings. In a disaster medical area, improper infection control practices or overcrowding can contribute to nosocomial transmission of infectious agents, including those causing diarrheal diseases. However, this option is less likely in the context of a client seeking treatment for diarrhea immediately upon arrival at the disaster medical area.
