1300

1400

1600

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is B

A. 1500: This is incorrect
B. The calculation is as follows:
Remaining fluid: 600 mL
IV rate: 100 mL/hour
Time to empty the bag: 600 mL ÷ 100 mL/hour = 6 hours
Adding 6 hours to the report time:
0700 + 0600 = 1300
The correct answer is 1300.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

A. A profound feeling of tiredness is a common side effect of radiation therapy due to fatigue caused by the treatment itself and the body's response to cancer.
B. Renal impairment is not a typical direct side effect of radiation therapy for esophageal cancer; it is more commonly associated with treatments targeting the kidneys or systemic therapies.
C. Expectoration of frothy sputum may indicate pulmonary issues or fluid overload but is not a common side effect specifically related to radiation therapy for esophageal cancer.
D. Development of bone marrow suppression is possible but less common specifically with radiation therapy compared to chemotherapy, which is more directly associated with this side effect.

A. Slow the rate of infusion B. Apply a warm compress to the site C. Discontinue the infusion D. Check for blood return

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A. Slowing the rate of infusion may provide some temporary relief, but it does not address the underlying issue and may worsen the situation.
B. Applying a warm compress may soothe discomfort but is not the priority action when a burning sensation is reported, which could indicate potential extravasation.
C. Discontinuing the infusion is the best first action to prevent further damage to the tissue and to assess for complications such as infiltration or extravasation.
D. Checking for blood return can help assess the patency of the IV line, but the priority is to stop the infusion immediately to prevent complications.
