مريض على نورإبينفرين من وريد طرفي، والممرضة لاحظت الجلد حول الكانيولا شاحب وبارد. ماذا تفعل؟

A client is receiving norepinephrine through a peripheral IV, and the skin around the cannula is pale and cold. What should the nurse do?

1. Continue the infusion at a slower rate
2. Remove the cannula at once and restart in the same site
3. Stop the infusion, prepare phentolamine per protocol and notify the provider
4. Elevate and massage the limb

Answer: C) Stop the infusion, prepare phentolamine per protocol and notify the provider. Extravasation of a vasopressor causes tissue necrosis. Stop the infusion, aspirate before removal per policy; the antidote is phentolamine.
