When giving intravenous (I.V.) phenytoin, which of the following methods should
you use?
A. Use an in-line filter.
B. Withhold other anticonvulsants.
Incorrect
C. Mix the drug with saline solution only.
Correct Answer

management in a patient with acute pancreatitis?
A. Nutrition management
B. Fluid and electrolyte balance
Correct Answer
C. Management of hypoglycemia
D. Pain control
, Incorrect
Incorrect

loss from vomiting is a major concern. Therefore, your priority is to manage
hypovolemia and restore electrolyte balance.
Options A and D: Pain control and nutrition also are important, but not priority.
Option C: Patients are at risk for hyperglycemia, not hypoglycemia.
