Which post is most appropriate for a nursing student to put on a social media platform?

Choice B rationale:

Isometric exercises involve contracting muscles without changing the length of the muscle or joint angle. In this case, squeezing the gluteal muscles tightly constitutes an isometric exercise. Isometric exercises are often used in rehabilitation settings to strengthen specific muscle groups without putting too much strain on the joints.

Choice A rationale:

Option A describes a range of motion exercise involving the wrist, which is not an isometric exercise. Isometric exercises focus on static muscle contractions, not dynamic movements like circular motions.

Choice C rationale:

Lifting a 5-pound weight to increase arm strength involves isotonic exercise, not isometric exercise. Isotonic exercises involve muscle contractions with movement and changing muscle length, unlike isometric exercises, where muscle length remains constant.

Choice D rationale:

Bending the knee up to the chest is an example of a range of motion exercise and does not constitute an isometric exercise. Range of motion exercises involve moving joints through their full extent, but isometric exercises involve static muscle contractions without joint movement.

To calculate the amount of Augmentin to be administered per day, first, determine the total daily dose. The prescribed dose is 27 mg, given three times daily, resulting in a total daily dose of:

27 mg × 3 = 81 mg per day

Next, calculate the volume of the reconstituted solution needed to provide the total daily dose of 81 mg, considering that the vial, when reconstituted with 2.3 mL of saline, has a concentration of 20 mg/mL. The volume needed per dose is:

81 mg ÷ 20 mg/mL = 4.05 mL per dose

Since the medication is administered three times daily, the total volume required per day is:

4.05 mL per dose × 3 doses per day = 12.15 mL per day

Therefore, the nurse will administer 12.15 mL of the reconstituted Augmentin solution per day to the 6-year-old patient.
