A nurse is preparing to administer diphenhydramine 20 mg orally to a 6-year-old child who has difficulty swallowing pills. Available is diphenhydramine 12.5 mg/5 mL oral syrup. Which of the following images shows the correct # of mL the nurse should administer? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number.)

A nurse is caring for a 6-year-old child who has a new prescription for cefoxitin 80 mg/kg/day administered intravenously every 6 hour. The child weighs 20 kg. How much cefoxitin should the nurse administer with each dose? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)  So it says each dose for the final answer, but we are given 80 mg/kg/day.  80 x 20 = 1600 / 4 (dose is given every6 hours a day) =400 mg Rationale: 80 mg x 20 kg = 1,600 → 1,600/4 x day (q6h) = 400 mg 6.

Apply the BP cuff 2.5 cm (1 in) above the antecubital space with the brachial artery in line with the marking on the cuff.Apply the BP cuff 2.5 cm (1 in) above the antecubitalspace with the brachial artery in line with the marking on the cuff. 9.
