The physician orders Lovenox 80 mg subcutaneously daily for the prevention of deep vein thrombosis. The medication is supplied 80 mg/0.8 ml. How milliliters will the nurse administer? (LABEL CORRECTLY and Round to the tenth)

Choice A reason: Back pain is a common manifestation of an aortic aneurysm, particularly abdominal, due to pressure on surrounding structures or dissection. This is the expected finding, as it aligns with the aneurysm’s location and potential to cause referred pain, making it the correct choice.

Choice B reason: Ankle edema is associated with heart failure or venous insufficiency, not aortic aneurysm, which primarily causes vascular symptoms like pain. Edema is not a typical manifestation, making this incorrect, as the nurse should expect back pain, not swelling, in this condition.

Choice C reason: Chest pain is more associated with thoracic aortic aneurysms or cardiac conditions, not abdominal aortic aneurysms, which typically cause back or abdominal pain. This makes it incorrect, as back pain is the more expected finding for the nurse to anticipate.

Choice D reason: Paralysis is not a typical manifestation of aortic aneurysm unless rupture causes spinal cord compression, which is rare. Back pain is more common due to aneurysm expansion, making this incorrect, as it does not reflect the usual presentation of this condition.

Choice A reason: Laying the infant with the head lower than the body worsens cyanosis in tetralogy of Fallot by reducing systemic venous return. The knee-to-chest position increases resistance, improving oxygenation, making this incorrect, as it indicates a need for further teaching on proper positioning.

Choice B reason: Holding the infant against the shoulder with knees bent up toward the chest is the correct knee-to-chest position for tetralogy of Fallot during cyanosis. This increases systemic vascular resistance, reducing right-to-left shunting and improving oxygenation, indicating the father’s understanding of the instructions.

Choice C reason: Placing the infant upright in an infant seat does not effectively increase systemic vascular resistance to reduce shunting in tetralogy of Fallot. The knee-to-chest position is required, making this incorrect, as it shows a need for teaching on the correct positioning to manage cyanosis.

Choice D reason: Supine position with head elevated does not address cyanosis in tetralogy of Fallot, as it fails to increase systemic resistance to reduce shunting. Knee-to-chest positioning is needed, making this incorrect, as it indicates misunderstanding of the proper technique to improve oxygenation.
