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.

2. Zithromax is not used to treat BV.
3. Doxycycline is not used to treat BV.
4. The nonpregnant woman who is diagnosed with bacterial vaginosis (BV) is treated with metronidazole (Flagyl) 500 mg orally twice a day for 7 days.

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.
