A client has an IV of dopamine administered in the right arm. The IV becomes dislodged from the vein and dopamine has been being given in the surrounding tissue instead of the vein. The nurse should stop the IV and:
-wrap the site tightly with gauze to help the dopamine be absorbed by the underlining tissue.
-put ice on the infusion site to decrease circulation and cause necrosis.
-administer atenolol (a beta adrenergic blocking drug) to the site to minimize necrosis.
-sdminister phentolamine (an alpha adrenergic blocking drug) to the site to minimize necrosis.
