A nonpregnant client reports a fishy-smelling, thin, white, watery vaginal discharge. She is diagnosed with bacterial vaginosis (BV). The nurse would be expecting to administer:
 
  1. Penicillin G (Bicillin) 2 million units IM one time.
  2. Zithromax (Azithromycin) 1 mg p.o. b.i.d. for 2 weeks.
  3. Doxycycline (Vibramycin) 100 mg p.o. b.i.d. for a week.
  4. Metronidazole (Flagyl) 500 mg p.o. b.i.d. for a week.

Question 2

With regard to the nutrient needs of breastfed and formula-fed infants, nurses should be aware that:
 
  a. Breastfed infants need extra water in hot climates.
  b. During the first 3 months, breastfed infants consume more energy than formu-la-fed infants.
  c. Breastfeeding infants should receive oral vitamin D drops daily at least during the first 2 months.
  d. Vitamin K injections at birth are not needed for infants fed on specially enriched formula.

Answer to Question 2

C

Feedback
A Neither breastfed nor formula-fed infants need to be given water, not even in very hot climates.
B During the first 3 months, formula-fed infants consume more energy than breastfed infants and therefore tend to grow more rapidly.
C Human milk contains only small amounts of vitamin D.
D Vitamin K shots are required for all infants because the bacteria that produce it are absent from the baby's stomach at birth.
