NAPLEX (North American Pharmacist Licensure Examination) Practice Exam

Question: 1 / 1820

What is one preventative measure for Extravasation with vinca alkaloids and etoposide?

Ice packs only

Warm compresses

Warm compresses are the preferred preventative measure for Extravasation with vinca alkaloids and etoposide. Ice packs may be too cold and cause vasoconstriction, potentially making the symptoms worse. Dexrazoxane administration is used as a treatment for Extravasation, but it is not a preventative measure. Elevation of the limb may help with symptoms but does not prevent Extravasation from occurring.
