The instructions that should be included by the nurse is that the client should avoid driving or any activity that requires mental alertness.

Allopurinol is simply a medication that's used for the reduction of high blood uric acid levels. It's also used for the prevention of gout, or kidney stones.

It should be noted that allopurinol can either be taken by injection or through the mouth. Since the nurse is preparing to educate the client about gout who has a new prescription for allopurinol, it's vital to tell the client to avoid driving or activities that will require mental alertness. This is because allopurinol causes dizziness.

Answer from: Ellem22

The information the nurse should include in the clients instruction should be that the client should monitor any signs of rashes, nausea and increased gout pain that he or she may experience.

Explanation:

Allopurinol is a medication that is taken as a prescription for gout. Gout is a pain or inflammation that is present in the joints of the body due to an increase or build up of uric acid in the blood and this excess uric acid ends up been transferred to the joints most especially the big toe which then results in tenderness, redness and pain.

Allopurinol helps to minimize or decrease the level of Uric acid in the body. It is very important to know that allopurinol should be injested after eating using water. The patient must make such that they drink a lot of water after the injesting allopurinol throughout that day. The usage of allopurinol comes with some side effects such as rashes, nausea and and increase in gout pain which a person suffering from gout should look out for.

Mantle convection is the slow creepingmotion of earth's solid silicate mantle caused by convection currents carrying heat from the interior to the planet's surface.[1][2] the earth's surface lithosphere, which rides atop the asthenosphere (the two components of the upper mantle), is divided into a number of plates that are continuously being created and consumed at their opposite plate boundaries. accretion occurs as mantle is added to the growing edges of a plate, associated with seafloor spreading. this hot added material cools down by conduction and convection of heat. at the consumption edges of the plate, the material has thermally contracted to become dense, and it sinks under its own weight in the process of subduction usually at an ocean trench.[3]this subducted material sinks through the earth's interior. some subducted material appears to reach the lower mantle,[4] while in other regions, this material is impeded from sinking further, possibly due to a phase transition from spinel to silicate perovskiteand magnesiowustite, an endothermic reaction.[5]the subducted oceanic crust triggers volcanism, although the basic mechanisms are varied. volcanism may occur due to processes that add buoyancy to partially melted mantle causing an upward flow due to a decrease in density of the partial melt.secondary forms of convection that may result in surface volcanism are postulated to occur as a consequence of intraplate extension[6] and mantle plumes.[7]it is because the mantle can convect that the tectonic plates are able to move around the earth's surface.[8]mantle convection seems to have been much more active during the hadean period, resulting in gravitational sorting of heavier molten iron, and nickel elements and sulphides in the core, and lighter silicate minerals in the mantle.
