Correct Answer is A

Explanation

A. According to the recommended dosage range of 20 to 25 mg/kg/day for a toddler weighing 20 kg, the daily dosage should be between 400 mg (20 kg x 20 mg) and 500 mg (20 kg x 25 mg). Therefore, the prescribed dosage of 300 mg/day is below the recommended range.

B. The nurse determines the prescription is above the recommended dosage range. This is incorrect because the prescribed dosage is actually below the recommended range.

C. The nurse contacts the pharmacist to adjust the prescribed dosage. This would be an appropriate action since the prescribed dosage does not meet the recommended range, and collaboration with the pharmacist could ensure the correct dosage is administered.

D. The nurse administers the prescribed dosage. This would not be appropriate without first addressing the discrepancy between the prescribed dosage and the recommended range.

Correct Answer is {"dropdown-group-1":"F","dropdown-group-2":"D"}

Explanation

The client's symptoms of profuse sweating, irritability, weight loss, heat intolerance, and bulging eyes are indicative of hyperthyroidism, possibly from Graves' disease. Hyperthyroidism speeds up metabolism, leading to the described symptoms, including increased heart rate.

Continuous telemetry is appropriate for monitoring the heart, as the client is experiencing sinus tachycardia, which is a common finding in hyperthyroidism.
