The nurse is administering intravenous amiodarone to a patient in the emergency department. which task would the nurse need to prioritize?

The answer to the question above is this: Monitoring the patient's blood pressure. The drug amiodarone is an antiarrhythmic medication and this is commonly prescribed to treat ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation. However, this medication is only used in emergency cases as this has also dangerous side effects. Since Amiodarone is an antiarrhythmic medication, this can affect one's blood pressure. Amiodarone can result in a lower blood pressure, thus, it is best to monitor this too. 

20 times a minute is usually the average respritory rate of an adult. additionally the patient is breathing on his own, is clearly maintaining his airway, and is intaking a sufficient amount of air. you shouldn't use a bag valve mask, cpap, or other form of positive pressure ventilation, unless the patient has lost control of his airway, and is not breathing (apneic) or has rapid breathing or slow and shallow respirations. this patient would most likely and should be put on an non-rebreather mask or nrb attached to 100% high flow oxygen at 15 l/min. don't use a nasal cannula, as the amount of oxygen it provides is limited with a rate of 6 l/min.
