Your patient is to receive Zithromax oral suspension 1 g PO now. You have available Zithromax 200mg/5mL. How many milliliters will you administer per dose?

A. Teaching the client to use NSAIDs effectively: While NSAIDs can be used for mild to moderate pain, they are not the first choice for severe bone pain, especially in conditions like multiple myeloma. NSAIDs can also have adverse effects on kidney function, particularly in clients with compromised renal function, common in multiple myeloma.

B. Helping the client manage the opioid analgesic regimen: Severe bone pain in multiple myeloma is often best managed with opioids due to the intensity of the pain. The nurse should prioritize ensuring the client is using the opioid analgesic regimen effectively and safely to control the pain while minimizing side effects and risk of addiction.

C. Implementing distraction techniques: Distraction techniques can help with mild to moderate pain, but they are not sufficient for managing severe pain from conditions like multiple myeloma. Pharmacologic pain management is more appropriate for severe pain.

D. Educating the client about the effective use of hot and cold packs: Hot and cold packs can provide temporary relief for some types of pain, but they are not sufficient for managing the severe bone pain associated with multiple myeloma. Pharmacologic management is the priority intervention.

A. Have the client use the early-morning hours for exercise and activity: Clients with COPD may experience morning respiratory symptoms, so it is better to encourage exercise and activity when they feel most comfortable not strictly early morning.

B. Instruct the client to use pursed-lip breathing: Pursed-lip breathing helps clients with COPD slow their breathing, increase lung volume, and improve oxygenation. It is an effective technique to reduce the feeling of breathlessness and improve airflow.

C. Restrict the client's fluid intake to less than 2 L/day: Fluid intake should not be restricted in COPD unless there are specific contraindications, such as heart failure. Adequate hydration is important to thin secretions and make them easier to expectorate.

D. Provide the client with a low-protein diet: Clients with COPD may have higher energy needs and require adequate protein intake to prevent muscle wasting and maintain strength for respiratory function. A balanced, nutrient-dense diet is ideal.
