The nurse is providing education to the parents of an infant with cradle cap. Which of the following statements by the parents indicates their understanding?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: "We should brush the loosened crusts out of the hair after shampooing." This statement indicates understanding as brushing the loosened crusts helps to remove the scales and prevent further build-up. Hydrogen peroxide (

Question 4 of 5
Fentanyl 30mcg IV is ordered. The vial contains 0.05mg/ml. How many ml should the nurse administer?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale:
To calculate the amount of Fentanyl to administer, first convert 30mcg to mg by dividing by 1000 (30mcg = 0.03mg).
Then, divide the dose by the concentration of the vial (0.03mg ÷ 0.05mg/ml = 0.6ml). The correct answer is D (0.6ml).
Choice A (0.3ml) is incorrect because it doesn't account for the correct dosage calculation.
Choice B (3ml) is incorrect as it is too high, leading to potential overdose.
Choice C (0.06ml) is incorrect as it miscalculates the dosage based on the vial concentration.

B) would cause different symptoms, not typically rash and diarrhea. Gastroenteritis (
C) typically presents with nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain, not necessarily rash.
