The nurse is functioning in the role of medication nurse during a code. Which should the nurse implement when administering amiodarone for ventricular tachycardia?
Correct answer
D
Rationale
Amiodarone for VT is administered via IV pump (D) per ACLS (e.g., 150 mg over 10 min). Rapid infusion (A) risks hypotension, direct push (B) is incorrect, and questioning (C) is unnecessary.
