Correct Answer: 2,4
Rationale 1: Cold compresses will significantly increase the toxicity of vinca alkaloids.
Rationale 2: Hyaluronidase is used as treatment for vincristine extravasation.
Rationale 3: There is no need to place a tourniquet on the client's arm.
Rationale 4: Warm compresses are recommended as treatment.
Rationale 5: Prednisone is not given concurrently with vincristine due to increased bone marrow toxicity.
