Nursing Safety and Infection Control

Question 1 of 17

A nurse is preparing to administer IV Rocephin for infection to a client. The client has a central venous line infusing blood but no other IV access. The blood still has 30 minutes left to infuse. The Rocephin is due now. How should the nurse proceed?

A. hold the Rocephin since it will be too late to give it after the blood completes infusing

B. draw up the Rocephin in a syringe after reconstitution and inject it into the blood bag so it can infuse with the blood

C. stop the blood, flush the line with 0.9% NS, administer the Rocephin, and then flush the line with the NS before restarting blood

D. allow the blood to finish infusing before giving Rocephin; the Rocephin will be administered during an acceptable time frame for 'on time' administration
