Question 1 of 5

A client is receiving lipids (fat emulsion) intravenously at home, and the client's spouse manages the infusion. The home care nurse makes a visit and discusses potential side and adverse effects of the therapy with the client and the spouse. After the discussion, the nurse expects the spouse to verbalize that, in case of a suspected adverse effect, which action is the priority?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Signs/symptoms of an adverse effect to lipids (fat emulsion) include chest and back pain, chills, vertigo, cyanosis, diaphoresis, dyspnea, fever, flushing, headache, nausea and vomiting, and thrombophlebitis of the vein. The priority action is to stop the infusion to limit the adverse response. Although contacting the nurse, taking the client's blood pressure, and contacting the local emergency response team are correct interventions, the priority is to stop the infusion.
