A 2-year-old child is admitted to a hospital burn unit with partial- and full-thickness burns involving 35% of body surface area. After admission assessment and review of the primary health care provider's prescriptions, the priority nursing intervention should focus on which action?

The primary health care provider ordered erythromycin 600 mg orally in 4 divided doses for a child who weighs 9 kg. Erythromicin is available in a concentration of 200 mg per 5 mL.

The following 4 questions (a, b, c, and d) refer to this prescription.

a) What volume of erythromycin should the nurse prepare for a single dose?

b) The safe oral dose range is 30-50 mg per kg per day divided every 6 hours. Calculate the safe daily dose range for this child.

c) Calculate the safe minimum and maximum single doses for this child

d) Should the nurse administer this medication? Why or why not?

Location: Neurological Unit 0800

SBAR report from the night nurse:

Situation: Mr. Russell is a 55-year-old Native American male who was admitted with a stroke with mild left hemiplegia yesterday afternoon. He had a head CT and received thrombolytic therapy in the ED. He is nothing by mouth except for medications until the speech therapist has completed a bedside evaluation, which is scheduled for later this morning. He is scheduled for physical therapy later today.

Background: Mr. Russell has a history of hypertension, coronary artery disease, and diabetes mellitus type 2. He has smoked over a pack of cigarettes per day for the past 35 years and does not exercise.

Assessment: We have already checked his blood glucose level this morning. His vital signs have been stable and he slept well last night. He was able to get up to go to the bathroom with the use of a walker. His neurological checks are stable and he continues to have mild left hemiplegia. His hand grasps are almost equal but a little weaker on the left side. His pupils are equal and react to light. Swallow reflex is intact. He is oriented x3. I have already done a Morse Fall Risk assessment with a total high risk score of 60.

Recommendation: You should do a vital signs assessment, perform a neurological assessment, and talk about safety with Mr. Russell. You should also provide patient education on risk and prevention of aspiration. His morning medications are up and should be administered.
