What nursing precautions are needed when administering phenytoin and cimetidine intravenously?

What does your research show? Do you have a drug reference book that lists comparability of IV medications? There are also online resources for the same.

Hint not only look at comparability but the drug interaction of these two and why or why not there may be warnings

What precaution might be taken to protect the fetus during phenytoin therapy,during delivery,and after delivery?

Ooops, this is the message board for School Nurses. Perhaps your questions could be answered in another forum.

Moved to Nursing Student Assistance forum.

Look up drug monograph Online. What did you find out?

It's pretty clear that someone wants us to do his homework for him. I don't think the OP is confused on the topic, he wants someone to write out the answer for him.

Be weary of running phenytoin with anything. Check out an IV med book or a Lexicomp

We occasionally weary of being asked to do homework, and are wary of those who make repeated such demands. :)

OP, if you are really in nursing school, you have a pharmacology book that has this information in it, and a med/surg book that describes how to do it. You need to know how to use them for this kind of clinical question, not least because you will encounter questions like this all your working life and need to know how to find the answers on the fly.

If you have questions or concerns about the answers or rationales it gives you, or aren't clear on the descriptions in you med/surg book about the mechanics, tell us what confuses you and we WILL help you. Give you the answer without apparent effort on your part? No.
