Following A. Electrolyte inephrine (Levophed) administration, it is essential to the nurse to assess: A. Electrolyte status. B. Color and temperature of toes and fingers. C. Capillary refill. D. Ventricular arrhythmias. Correct Answer: B. Color and temperature of toes and fingers. Because decreased perfusion is a side effect of norepinephrine (Levophed), the nurse must check circulation frequently. Vasoconstriction secondary to alpha1 stimulation can result in reflex bradycardia via the...
