Question 1 of 5

What is the nurse's priority action if extravasation of an antineoplastic drug occurs during intravenous (IV) administration?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Stop the infusion immediately, but leave the IV catheter in place. This is the priority action because stopping the infusion prevents further harm by minimizing the amount of the vesicant drug that enters the tissue. Leaving the IV catheter in place ensures that the antidote or treatment can be administered directly into the affected area. Changing the infusion to normal saline (choice
A) or reducing the infusion rate (choice
B) are not the priority actions and do not address the immediate need to stop the infusion. Discontinuing the IV and applying warm compresses (choice
D) may cause further damage by spreading the vesicant drug.
