Rationale 1: Bradycardia may indicate cardiac toxicity, which is the major dose-limiting effect.
Rationale 2: Nausea is expected and will be treated with an antiemetic.
Rationale 3: Green tea may enhance the antitumor effect. The nurse should discuss this statement with the oncologist, but it is not necessary to immediately stop the infusion.
Rationale 4: Dyspnea may indicate heart failure.
Rationale 5: The patient may be pale for any number of reasons. It is not necessary to discontinue the infusion.
