The nurse is to administer flumazenil (Mazicon) I.V. for reversal of sedation. Which of the following interventions should be included in the care plan? Select all that apply.
Correct answer
B,C,D,E
Rationale
Flumazenil is given undiluted in incremental doses (B), via a free-flowing IV line (D), with monitoring for side effects like shivering and hypotension (C) and level of consciousness (E). A 2-mg bolus (A) is incorrect, as flumazenil is titrated in smaller doses.
