Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A nurse is preparing to administer phenytoin IV to a client who has a seizure disorder. Which of the following actions should the nurse plan to take?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Administer a saline solution after injection. This is because phenytoin is known to be irritating to veins and can cause local tissue damage if not properly diluted and flushed with saline solution to prevent phlebitis. Administering a saline solution after injection helps prevent these complications.


Choice A is incorrect because administering phenytoin at 100 mg/min is too rapid and can lead to adverse effects such as hypotension and cardiac arrhythmias.
Choice B is incorrect because diluting phenytoin with dextrose 5% in water can cause precipitation and reduce the drug's effectiveness.
Choice D is incorrect because holding the injection if seizure activity is present is not recommended as phenytoin is used to treat seizures.
