The healthcare provider prescribes epoetin alfa 8,200 units subcutaneously for a client with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The 2 ml mutidose vial is labeled, "Each 1 mL of solution contains 10,000 units of epoetin alfa." How many mL should the nurse administer? (Enter the numerical value only. If rounding is required, round to the nearest tenth).

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is ["0.8"]

Desired dose = 8,200 units.

Available concentration = 10,000 units / 1 mL.

Calculate the volume in milliliters (mL) to administer.

Volume (mL) = Desired dose (units) / Available concentration (units/mL)

= 8,200 units / 10,000 units/mL

= 0.82 mL.

Rounded to the nearest tenth:

= 0.8.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

A. A semiprivate room with a roommate who has the same diagnosis and airborne precautions: Although same-diagnosis cohorting may be allowed in some settings, varicella requires strict airborne and contact precautions. A private room is preferred due to the high transmissibility of the virus via airborne droplets and direct contact.

B. A semiprivate room with a roommate who has the same diagnosis and contact precautions: Contact precautions alone are insufficient for varicella. The virus is airborne, and a semiprivate setup without full precautions increases the risk of transmission to staff and others in the unit.

C. A private room with both standard and droplet precautions: Droplet precautions are not adequate for preventing airborne transmission of varicella. The virus spreads through aerosolized particles, requiring airborne precautions in addition to contact isolation.

D. A private room with both contact and airborne precautions: Varicella zoster virus (chickenpox) spreads via airborne droplets and direct contact with lesions. A private room with negative airflow and both contact and airborne precautions is essential to prevent transmission.

A. Expressed feelings of depression B. Recent serum hemoglobin level of 16 g/dL (160 g/L). C. Opioid analgesic received one hour ago. D. Stooped posture with a steady gait.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A. Expressed feelings of depression: Depression may affect motivation and energy levels, but it does not directly increase the physiological or physical risk for falling unless it leads to behaviors such as neglecting safety or excessive sedation.

B. Recent serum hemoglobin level of 16 g/dL (160 g/L): This hemoglobin level is within normal limits and does not indicate anemia or oxygen-carrying impairment that could contribute to dizziness, fatigue, or falls.

C. Opioid analgesic received one hour ago: Opioids can cause side effects like dizziness, sedation, and hypotension, all of which significantly raise the risk of falls, especially during ambulation or transfers soon after administration.

D. Stooped posture with a steady gait: While a stooped posture may be associated with conditions like osteoporosis or Parkinson’s disease, a steady gait suggests current mobility is stable. It does not, by itself, necessitate a fall risk diagnosis.
