When assessing a client's skin, the nurse recognizes that of the susceptible areas, most pressure injuries occur over which bony prominence? Identify on the picture where you would assess this.
Explanation
The sacrum is the most susceptible area for pressure injuries because it bears a significant amount of body weight when a client lies in a supine position for extended periods. This is because it is a bony prominence with minimal cushioning, so pressure is not well-distributed, increasing the risk of skin breakdown. Immobile clients also often remain in the same position for long periods, leading to reduced blood flow (ischemia) to the area. The sacral area is also commonly exposed to moisture from urine or feces in incontinent clients, which weakens the skin and increases the risk of injury.
A nurse is preparing to administer amoxicillin 500 mg PO every 12 hr. The amount available is amoxicillin 250 mg/5 mL suspension. How many mL should the nurse administer? (TYPE NUMBERS ONLY. Round to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Explanation
Desired Dose: 500 mg
Available Concentration: 250 mg per 5 ml
