The nurse receives the primary provider's order of phenytoin 0.2 g orally twice daily. The medication label states that each capsule is 100 mg. The nurse prepares how many capsule(s) to administer. (Round to the nearest whole number)

A. The client has legal authority to do so: The nurse’s signature confirms that the client appears to have the legal capacity to consent.

B. The client does not have a mental health condition: This is not within the nurse’s purview to assess unless explicitly stated; mental capacity, not condition, is key.

C. The client was not coerced: The nurse’s signature also indicates the consent was given voluntarily, without coercion.

D. The client signed in the nurse's presence: The nurse’s signature confirms that the nurse witnessed the client’s signature.

E. The client speaks the same language as the nurse: Consent requires understanding, which can be provided through an interpreter, so this is not necessary.

A. The client on peritoneal dialysis who is reporting a hard and rigid abdomen. A hard, rigid abdomen suggests peritonitis, a life-threatening complication requiring immediate assessment and intervention.

B. The client who does not have a palpable thrill or auscultated bruit: This indicates a possible vascular access issue, but it is not as immediately life-threatening as peritonitis.

C. The client who is reporting a 3.6 kg weight gain and refusing dialysis: This weight gain could signal fluid overload, but refusal of dialysis would require a different approach that may not need immediate intervention unless symptoms worsen.

D. The client with a hemoglobin of 9.0 mg/dL and hematocrit of 26%: This low hemoglobin and hematocrit level may require treatment, but it is not an immediate life-threatening issue like peritonitis.
