Question 1 of 5

Before administering amphotericin B to a patient, what is the most crucial step a nurse should take?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Evaluate the patient's sodium and calcium levels. Before administering amphotericin B, it is crucial to evaluate the patient's sodium and calcium levels because amphotericin B can cause electrolyte imbalances, particularly hypokalemia and hypomagnesemia. Monitoring these levels helps prevent potential complications such as cardiac arrhythmias and renal dysfunction.

A: Attaching a continuous pulse oximetry probe is not directly related to administering amphotericin B.
B: Setting the IV pump to deliver the medication over 30 minutes is important but not the most crucial step in this scenario.
C: Connecting the patient to a continuous cardiac monitor may be necessary during administration but is not the most crucial step before administering the medication.
