Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a 1-month-old infant who weighs 3500 g and is prescribed a dose of cephazolin 50 mg/kg by intermittent IV bolus three times daily. How many mg should the nurse administer per dose? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero)

Question 3 of 5
A child is admitted with a suspected diagnosis of Wilms tumor. The nurse should place a sign with which of the following warnings over the child's bed?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Palpating the abdomen in a child with Wilms tumor risks rupturing the tumor capsule, potentially causing dissemination of cancer cells. This is the primary warning needed.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is preparing a client for outpatient surgery. After the nurse inserts the IV catheter, the client reports pain in the insertion area. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Administering a local anesthetic, such as lidocaine, is the most appropriate action to alleviate pain at the insertion site of the IV catheter. Local anesthetics block nerve impulses in the area where they are applied, temporarily numbing the site and providing rapid pain relief.

A nurse is caring for a client who has severe manifestations of schizophrenia and is medicated PRN for agitation with haloperidol. The nurse should assess the client for which of the following adverse effects?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Haloperidol can prolong the QT interval, potentially causing dysrhythmias like torsade de pointes. Monitoring for signs such as palpitations or syncope is critical.
