Pharmacological and Parenteral Therapies QID 1067
A patient is receiving an IV infusion of amphotericin B. What is a common side effect that the nurse should anticipate and premedicate for?
Explanation
Amphotericin B is known to cause infusion-related reactions, including fever, chills, and rigors. Premedicating with antipyretics, antihistamines, and corticosteroids can help reduce these side effects. Hypoglycemia, urinary retention, and muscle spasms are not commonly associated with amphotericin B infusions.
