Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer topotecan IV to a client. Which of the following medications should the nurse expect to administer to treat the adverse effects of topotecan?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Granisetron.
Topotecan is a chemotherapy drug known to cause nausea and vomiting as common adverse effects. Granisetron is a serotonin receptor antagonist commonly used to prevent chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. By administering granisetron, the nurse can effectively manage these adverse effects and improve the client's comfort and compliance with treatment.
Choice B, Insulin lispro, is a rapid-acting insulin used to treat diabetes and is not relevant in this context.
Choice C, Docusate sodium, is a stool softener used to prevent constipation, which is not a common adverse effect of topotecan.
Choice D, Prednisone, is a corticosteroid used for various conditions but is not typically used to treat the adverse effects of topotecan.
