The physician orders Neupogen 400mcg SC daily. The medication is supplied in 300 mcg/mL. How many milliliters will the nurse administer?_(SHADE SYRING #1 ON SUPPLEMENT HANDOUT-round to tenths place)

A. Errors by the nurse assistant in measuring temperature. While improper technique can lead to inaccurate readings, consistent temperature fluctuations in a head injury patient are more likely due to hypothalamic dysfunction.
B. Increased vasodilatation of the superficial vessels contributing to excess heat losses. Vasodilation can play a role in heat loss, but it does not fully explain difficulty maintaining body temperature, which is primarily regulated by the hypothalamus.
C. The client's head injury causing interference with the function of the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus regulates body temperature, and a severe head injury can disrupt this function, leading to temperature instability (neurogenic fever or hypothermia) despite the absence of infection.
D. Choosing the wrong time of day to obtain vital signs. While body temperature naturally fluctuates throughout the day, major instability in temperature regulation is not due to the timing of measurement but rather an issue with the hypothalamus.

A. Auscultation. Auscultation involves listening to internal body sounds, usually with a stethoscope, such as heart, lung, or bowel sounds. It is not used for assessing the radial pulse.
B. Percussion. Percussion is the technique of tapping on body surfaces to assess underlying structures, such as detecting fluid in the lungs or assessing organ size. It is not used to assess pulses.
C. Palpation. Palpation involves using the fingers to feel for the radial pulse by applying gentle pressure over the radial artery at the wrist. This is the correct method for assessing a patient's radial pulse.
D. Inspection. Inspection involves visually examining the patient for abnormalities such as skin color, swelling, or deformities. It does not provide information about pulse rate or rhythm.
