The Correct Answer is Option C
Change 1 g to milligrams, knowing that 1000 mg =1 g.
Also, when converting from grams to milligrams (larger to smaller), move the decimal point three places to the right: 1 g = 1000 mg.

Formula: Desired / Available x Tablet = 1000 mg / 500 mg = 2 tablets

D. A lack of normal sense of position when the client is unable to return extended fingers to a point of reference
In Romberg’s test, the client is asked to stand with the feet together and the arms at the sides, and to close the eyes and hold the position; normally the client can maintain posture and balance. A positive Romberg’s sign is a vestibular neurological sign that is found when a client exhibits a loss of balance when closing the eyes. This may occur with cerebellar ataxia, loss of proprioception, and loss of vestibular function. A lack of a normal sense of position coupled with an inability to return extended fingers to a point of reference is a finding that indicates a problem with coordination. A positive gaze nystagmus evaluation results in an involuntary rhythmic, rapid twitching of the eyeballs. A positive Babinski’s test results in dorsiflexion of the great toe with fanning of the other toes; if this occurs in anyone older than 2 years it indicates the presence of central nervous system disease.

Answers C and D are wrong because they can be used for baseline information but will not help stabilize the client.

B. Rovsing’s sign
C. Turner’s sign

The Correct Answer is Option A
A. Acyclovir (Zovirax)
B. Podophyllin
C. AZT (Retrovir)
D. Isoniazid (Lanzid)
Acyclovir is used to treat genital herpes. Answer B is incorrect because Podophyllin is used to treat condyloma acuminata (venereal warts).
