Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Feedback:
The pentamidine treatment typically lasts about 30 to 45 minutes. The solution should be protected from light after the drug is dissolved with the proper amount of sterile water. No other drugs should be added to the reservoir.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Feedback:
For the nursing diagnosis of ineffective renal tissue perfusion, the nurse would monitor the client's urine output hourly and evaluate serum creatinine and BUN levels frequently. Premedicating the client with an antihistamine would only be appropriate if the client was receiving amphotericin B via IV infusion.
