Calculate the amount to administer: ________. (Round to the nearest tenth) 
Ordered: Amoxicillin 180 mg PO nowSee label for dose on hand
Fill in the blank(s) with the appropriate word(s).
2.3 mL
H = 400 mg; Q = 5 mL; D = 180 mg
A = 0.45 × 5 mL
A = 2.25 mL, rounded to 2.3 mL
The ordered dose is not quite half of the dose ordered, and 2.3 mL is not quite half of 5 mL, so the answer is reasonable.

A nurse is caring for a child who was admitted to the Pediatric unit with infectious diarrhea. The nurse should be alert to what parameter as an indicator of dehydration?
A) Moist mucus membranes B) Weak pulse C) Profuse salivation D) Increased tearing
Mr. M is a frail 82-year-old client hospitalized for an acute exacerbation of COPD. Although he is on oxygen therapy at 3L per nasal cannula his O2 saturation, measured using a pulse oximeter, has been around 89%
He still becomes short of breath when talking or eating. Because of this, the nurse recommends a high-fat, high-protein diet because: 1. This will allow him to gain weight and develop muscle to help with recovery. 2. Both foods have "more calories per bite" allowing him to eat less but still get enough calories. 3. He is elderly and does not have to be worried about his risk for developing heart disease. 4. Foods high in protein and fats are easier to digest and less likely to cause indigestion.
