Which older adult on bed rest is most at risk to develop skin breakdown? A client who:.

Albumin is a protein that is made by the liver and helps maintain fluid balance in the

body. The normal range for albumin is 3.5 to 5.5 g/dL or 35-55 g/liter. A low albumin level can indicate malnutrition, liver disease, kidney disease, inflammation, or other conditions that affect protein synthesis or loss.

A client diagnosed with Imbalanced Nutrition: Less than Body Requirements would be expected to have a low albumin level due to inadequate protein intake or absorption.

Choice A is wrong because hemoglobin = 14.2 g/dL is within the normal range for males, which is 13.2 to 16.6 g/dL.

Hemoglobin is a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body. A low hemoglobin level can indicate anemia, which can be caused by blood loss, iron deficiency, vitamin B12 deficiency, or other conditions that affect red blood cell production or destruction.

Choice B is wrong because potassium = 4.2 mEq/L is within the normal range for adults, which is 3.5 to 5 mEq/L.

Potassium is an electrolyte that helps regulate fluid balance, nerve impulses, and muscle contractions. A low potassium level can indicate dehydration, diarrhea, vomiting, diuretic use, or other conditions that cause potassium loss. A high potassium level can indicate kidney disease, adrenal insufficiency, acidosis, or other conditions that cause potassium retention.

Choice D is wrong because creatinine = 0.8 mg/dL is within the normal range for adults, which is 0.6 to 1.2 mg/dL.

0.8.

To find the answer, you need to use the formula: Dose ordered / Dose available = Volume to administer

In this case, the dose ordered is 250,000 units and the dose available is 300,000 units/mL. So, you need to divide 250,000 by 300,000 and get 0.8333.

Then, you need to round it to one decimal place and get 0.8 mL. Choice A is wrong because it is too low.

If you administer 0.4 mL, you will give only 120,000 units of penicillin G benzathine, which is half of the prescribed dose.

Choice C is wrong because it is too high.

If you administer 1.2 mL, you will give 360,000 units of penicillin G benzathine, which is 44% more than the prescribed dose.

Choice D is wrong because it is also too high.

If you administer 1.6 mL, you will give 480,000 units of penicillin G benzathine, which is almost double the prescribed dose.

The normal range for penicillin G benzathine dosage depends on the type and severity of infection, but it is usually between 50,000 and 2.4 million units per injection.
