Question

a nurse is preparing to administer amphotericin b iv to a client who has a systemic fungal infection. which of the following medications should the nurse prepare to administer prior to the infusion to prevent or minimize adverse reactions? (select all that apply.)
aspirin
hydrocortisone
acetaminophen
diphenhydramine
ibuprofen

Explanation:

Amphotericin B has adverse reactions like fever, chills, hypotension, and allergic responses. Hydrocortisone (a steroid) reduces inflammation and allergic reactions. Acetaminophen reduces fever. Diphenhydramine (antihistamine) prevents allergic reactions. Aspirin and ibuprofen are NSAIDs; aspirin can increase bleeding risk, and ibuprofen isn't typically used pre - amphotericin B infusion for these purposes. So the correct medications are Hydrocortisone, Acetaminophen, and Diphenhydramine.

Answer:

B. Hydrocortisone, C. Acetaminophen, D. Diphenhydramine
