The nurse is to infuse 1 liter of D10W over 8 hours. What rate will the nurse set the iv pump for??

A. Encourage turning, coughing, and deep breathing every 2 hours: Bed rest increases the risk of respiratory complications like atelectasis and pneumonia, so encouraging turning, coughing, and deep breathing helps prevent these complications by improving lung ventilation.

B. Raise the knee gatch to prevent the patient from sliding down in bed: While this may help position the patient, it is not the priority action to prevent complications related to bed rest and hepatitis.

C. Provide undisturbed periods of 6 hours to encourage rest: While rest is important, prolonged periods without movement can lead to complications like pneumonia or pressure ulcers. Movement should still be encouraged.

D. Restrict fluids: Fluid restriction is not necessary for most hepatitis patients unless there are specific complications like ascites or severe edema. Fluid intake should generally be encouraged to prevent dehydration.

A. Herpes zoster: This virus causes shingles, not PUD.

B. H. pylori: This bacterium is the leading cause of PUD, contributing to ulcer formation by damaging the stomach lining and increasing acid production.

C. Candida albicans: This is a fungal infection that causes oral thrush or systemic infections, not PUD.

D. Escherichia coli: This bacterium is associated with gastrointestinal infections and urinary tract infections but not typically PUD.
