Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client who is receiving vancomycin. The nurse notes a flushing of the neck and tachycardia. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Decrease the infusion rate on the IV. Flushing of the neck and tachycardia are common signs of "Red Man Syndrome," a potential adverse reaction to vancomycin infusion. Decreasing the infusion rate can help alleviate these symptoms. Documentation (
B) of an anaphylactic reaction is inaccurate because these symptoms are not indicative of an anaphylactic reaction. Changing the IV site (
C) is unnecessary as the symptoms are likely due to the medication itself. Applying cold compresses (
D) is not effective for this reaction.
