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: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Prime the tubing with 0.9% sodium chloride. This is important to prevent amphotericin B lipid complex from interacting with other medications or substances in the tubing, which could result in precipitation or inactivation. Using a gravity flow set (
A) is not recommended as it may not provide accurate control over the rate of infusion. Discarding the medication if it is yellow (
C) is incorrect because amphotericin B lipid complex is naturally yellow in color. Administering the medication over 2 hr (
D) is also incorrect as the recommended infusion time is typically longer.
