Answer to Question 1

ANS: 2

Answer to Question 2

3. Red man syndrome

Rationale:
Vancomycin inhibits cell wall synthesis and is used for serious infections. It is only effective against gram-positive bacteria, especially Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis. The nurse should infuse this medication slowly over 60 minutes or more to avoid red man syndrome. The syndrome is characterized by erythematous rash, flushing, tachycardia, and hypotension. Clients can become dizzy and agitated.
