Exhibits Select 4 findings that would indicate to the nurse that the administration of the vancomycin antibiotic would be safe to administer.

A. Dosage in safe range: Ensures that the dosage of vancomycin falls within the acceptable range, minimizing the risk of toxicity. B. Blood urea nitrogen 17 mg/dl (6.07 mmol/L): Normal BUN levels indicate adequate renal function, which is important for the excretion of vancomycin. C. Potassium 4.4 mEq/L (4.4 mmol/L): Normal potassium is important because vancomycin can cause hypokalemia; ensuring potassium is within range helps prevent complications. D. No known allergies: Absence of allergies reduces the risk of adverse reactions to the medication. E. Peripheral IV in large vein: A peripheral IV in a large vein is important for comfort and reducing vein irritation but is not a primary safety measure for determining if vancomycin can be administered. F. While vancomycin is being used for prophylaxis against endocarditis in this case, this alone does not indicate the safety of administering the antibiotic. Other factors such as renal function and absence of allergies are more directly related to the safety of vancomycin administration.
