Explanation:

Rituximab (Rituxan) is a monoclonal antibody (end in -mab) that affects the lymphocytes.
It is commonly prescribed to treat certain forms of cancer (eg, lymphoma) and autoimmune
diseases (eg, lupus). Like many monoclonal antibodies, rituximab can produce a powerful
immune response (eg, bronchospasm, dyspnea, tachypnea, hypotension,
angioedema) (Option 3). The nurse should closely monitor the client during and after the
infusion. If life-threatening symptoms develop, the nurse should stop the infusion and
immediately notify the health care provider. The symptoms will be treated (eg,
corticosteroids) and, when resolved, the infusion is usually restarted at a slower rate.
(Options 1, 2, and 4) In many clients, monoclonal antibody therapies, like many oncology
pharmaceuticals, invoke flu-like responses (eg, fever, chills, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting).
Clients are often pretreated with acetaminophen and diphenhydramine in anticipation of these
reactions. Clients' symptoms are treated as needed (eg, antiemetics, antidiarrheals).
Educational objective:
Rituximab can produce a powerful immune response (eg, bronchospasm, dyspnea, tachypnea,
hypotension, angioedema). Clients should be closely monitored during and after the infusion.
