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: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Administer the medication over 2 hr. Amphotericin B lipid complex is a potent antifungal medication known to cause severe infusion-related reactions. Administering it slowly over 2 hours reduces the risk of adverse effects such as fever, chills, and hypotension. Priming the tubing with saline (choice
B) is not necessary for this medication. Discarding the medication if it is yellow (choice
C) is incorrect as amphotericin B lipid complex may have a yellow color due to its formulation. Using a gravity flow set (choice
D) is incorrect as this medication should be administered with a controlled infusion device to ensure the correct rate.
Choice E is a duplicate.
