Question 1 of 5
The nurse receives orders after notifying an HCP about the client who has tachycardia, diaphoresis, and an elevated temperature after treatments for ALL. Which order should be the nurse’s priority?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A. The results of the portable CXR will help determine if the cause is a respiratory infection. It will not change the treatment. B. Urine and blood cultures are priority; these should be obtained before antibiotics are administered. C. National recommendations are to administer broad-spectrum antibiotics such as vancomycin (Vancocin) within 1 hour of a suspected infection diagnosis. The antibiotics may be changed after culture and sensitivity reports are available (usually 24 to 48 hours). D. It takes 4 days for filgrastim (Neupogen) to return the neutrophil count to baseline, so this is not priority. Filgrastim should not be given within 24 hours of cytotoxic chemotherapy.
