Question 1 of 5

A nurse is preparing to administer amphotericin B lipid complex via intermittent IV bolus to a client who has infective endocarditis. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Administer the medication over 2 hr. This is the correct action because amphotericin B lipid complex is known to cause severe infusion-related reactions, including fever, chills, and hypotension. By administering the medication over 2 hours, the nurse can help minimize the risk of these reactions by slowing down the rate of infusion and allowing the client's body to adjust gradually to the medication.

Discarding the medication if it is yellow (
A) is not necessary for amphotericin B lipid complex. Using a gravity flow set (
B) is not appropriate for this medication, as it requires a controlled infusion rate. Priming the tubing with 0.9% sodium chloride (
C) is not indicated as it may not be compatible with the medication.

In summary, administering the medication over 2 hours is the correct action to reduce the risk of infusion-related reactions, while the other choices are incorrect because they do not address the specific administration
