The healthcare provider prescribes cefuroxime 5 grams every 8 hours IM for a client with pneumonia. The available vial is labeled, "Cefuroxime 500 mg/mL." How many mL should the nurse administer to this client? (Enter numerical value only. If rounding is required round to the nearest whole number.)

D. Addressing fluid volume deficit promptly is essential to prevent complications such as hypovolemic shock and renal dysfunction.

A. Bowel incontinence, especially in a client with celiac disease experiencing diarrhea, can lead to skin breakdown, discomfort, and embarrassment. However, it may not be the highest priority if the client's safety and physiological needs are not compromised.

B. Impaired bed mobility after knee replacement surgery can impact the client's recovery, comfort, and risk of complications such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT). However, if the client's condition allows for safe positioning and mobility within bed, this problem may not be the highest priority compared to more immediate concerns.

C. Caregiver role strain is a valid concern, especially if the primary caregiver is experiencing difficulty managing the client's needs. However, the priority is typically focused on addressing the client's immediate physiological needs before addressing caregiver concerns.

B. When the oxygen saturation is lower than expected, the nurse's first action should be to verify the accuracy of the reading by ensuring the proper placement and functioning of the pulse oximeter. This involves checking that the pulse oximeter probe is securely attached to the client's finger or other appropriate site and that there are no obstructions or interference affecting the reading.

A. A non-rebreather mask delivers higher concentrations of oxygen compared to a nasal cannula and is typically used when a client requires higher levels of oxygen supplementation. However, switching to a non-rebreather mask may not be appropriate without further assessment.

C. Increasing the oxygen flow rate to 3 L/minute would deliver a higher concentration of oxygen to the client, potentially improving oxygen saturation. However, increasing the oxygen flow should be done cautiously and based on clinical assessment to avoid oxygen toxicity.

D. Removing the nasal cannula would deprive the client of supplemental oxygen, which may not be appropriate if the client's oxygen saturation is already low. Oxygen supplementation is typically provided to improve oxygenation and support vital organ function.
