The nurse in the cardiac catheterization laboratory administers an intravenous bolus of bivalirudin ...

ANS: A
Back pain is one of the most common side effects of bivalirudin (incidence of 42). Pelvic pain also is a common side effect.
Fever is a relatively common side effect (incidence >5), but sore throat is not a side effect. The incidence of headache as a side effect is about 12.
Lethargy is not a side effect.
Diarrhea is not a side effect; however, the patient may experience the gastrointestinal side effects of nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. Bradycardia rather than tachycardia is a side effect, although tachycardia may be seen in response to the side effect of hypotension.

Appreciate this a lot
