Rationale 1: This medication should be infused slowly to avoid cardiovascular collapse.
Rationale 2: Giving acetaminophen prior to the infusion may decrease risk of hypersensitivity reaction.
Rationale 3: The drug should be withheld if the BUN exceeds 40 g/dL.
Rationale 4: Corticosteroid administration should be part of pre-administration preparation.
Rationale 5: Gastrointestinal bleeding is not a concern.
