1. Question
The client with small cell lung cancer is being treated with etoposide (VePesid). The nurse monitors the client during administration, knowing that which side effect is specifically associated with this medication?
CorrectAnswer & Rationale
Option 4 is correct.
Rationale: A side effect specific to etoposide is orthostatic hypotension. Etoposide should be administered slowly over 30 to 60 minutes to avoid hypotension. The client’s blood pressure is monitored during the infusion. Hair loss occurs with nearly all the antineoplastic medications. Chest pain and pulmonary fibrosis are unrelated to this medication.
