Question 1 of 5

The nurse is preparing to assist in the administration of a chemotherapeutic agent via intraperitoneal (IP) therapy. In which position should the nurse plan to place the client before administering this therapy?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: IP therapy is the administration of chemotherapeutic agents into the peritoneal cavity. This therapy is used for intra-abdominal malignancies such as ovarian and gastrointestinal tumors that have moved into the peritoneum after surgery. The client should be placed in a semi-Fowler's position for this infusion because the client may experience nausea and vomiting caused by increasing pressure on the internal organs. Additionally, this treatment may also place pressure on the diaphragm. The positions indicated in the rest of the options would increase pressure in the peritoneal cavity.
