Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who has a systemic fungal infection and is receiving IV amphotericin B deoxycholate. During previous infusions, the client developed a fever and chills. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Administer diphenhydramine prior to administration. This is because diphenhydramine is an antihistamine that can help prevent or minimize the side effects of fever and chills associated with IV amphotericin B deoxycholate infusion. Administering diphenhydramine before the medication can help reduce the likelihood of these adverse reactions occurring.

Applying a warming blanket (choice
A) may not be effective in preventing or managing the fever and chills caused by the medication. Infusing the medication over 1 hr (choice
B) may not directly address the fever and chills but can help in minimizing other side effects of rapid infusion. Monitoring vital signs once per hour (choice
D) is important but may not prevent the occurrence of fever and chills.
