nurse is reinforcing information to the client about the medication. Which statement
made by the client indicates a lack of understanding about the treatments?
1.
"The medication is an antibacterial."
2.
"The medication will help heal the burn."
3.
"The medication will permanently stain my skin."
4.
"The medication should be applied directly to the wound." - Answer-3. "The medication

against gram-negative bacteria, gram-positive bacteria, and yeast. It is applied directly

A nurse is caring for a client who is receiving an intravenous (IV) infusion of an
antineoplastic medication. During the infusion, the client complains of pain at the
insertion site. During an inspection of the site, the nurse notes redness and swelling and
that the rate of infusion of the medication has slowed. The nurse should take which
appropriate action?
1.
Notify the registered nurse.
2.
Administer pain medication to reduce the discomfort.
3.
Apply ice and maintain the infusion rate, as prescribed.
4.
Elevate the extremity of the IV site, and slow the infusion. - Answer-1. Notify the
registered nurse.
Rationale:
When antineoplastic medications are administered via IV, great care must be taken to
prevent the medication from escaping into the tissues surrounding the injection site,
because pain, tissue damage, and necrosis can result. The nurse monitors for signs of
extravasation, such as redness or swelling at the insertion site and a decreased infusion
rate. If extravasation occurs, the registered nurse needs to be notified; he or she will
then contact the health care provider.
