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 5-HT3 receptor antagonist commonly used to prevent chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. By administering Granisetron, the nurse can effectively manage and alleviate the adverse effects of topotecan. Other choices such as Insulin lispro, Docusate sodium, and Prednisone are not indicated for treating nausea and vomiting associated with topotecan administration. Insulin lispro is a rapid-acting insulin used to treat diabetes, Docusate sodium is a stool softener, and Prednisone is a corticosteroid used for various conditions but not for managing nausea and vomiting.
