A nurse is caring for a client who has a prescription for gentamicin IV. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct answer
B

Gentamicin can cause kidney damage (nephrotoxicity), requiring monitoring (e.g., creatinine). It's given over 30-60 minutes, diluted in saline, and BP isn't directly related.
