A nurse is providing an in-service about cancer.Which of the following statements is true regarding metastasis?

Choice A rationale

Stopping the infusion immediately is crucial to prevent further exposure to the allergen causing the adverse reaction. This intervention halts the administration of gentamicin, which is likely causing the dyspnea, rash, and itchiness. Prompt discontinuation of the medication minimizes the severity of the allergic reaction and allows for further medical management.

Choice B rationale

Administering an IV fluid bolus to flush the medication is not the priority intervention in this case. While it might help to clear the medication from the bloodstream, it does not address the immediate need to stop the allergen exposure and manage the allergic reaction.

Choice C rationale

Encouraging the client to take deep breaths and remain calm is supportive, but it does not address the root cause of the allergic reaction, which is the administration of gentamicin. The immediate priority is to stop the infusion and then manage the symptoms.

Choice D rationale

Administering oxygen via nasal cannula may help alleviate respiratory distress, but it is not the priority intervention. The primary step is to stop the infusion to prevent further exposure to the allergen.

Choice A rationale

Aspirin is a first-generation NSAID that reduces inflammation and pain. It works by inhibiting the enzyme cyclooxygenase, which results in decreased production of prostaglandins.

Choice B rationale

Dimenhydrinate is an antihistamine used to prevent and treat nausea, vomiting, and dizziness caused by motion sickness. It is not considered an NSAID.

Choice C rationale

Cetirizine is an antihistamine used to relieve allergy symptoms. It is not considered an NSAID.

Choice D rationale

Celecoxib is a second-generation NSAID that selectively inhibits cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). It is not a first-generation NSAID.
