Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Basiliximab (Simulect) is a medication used as an immunosuppressant to prevent organ rejection after transplantation. It is administered as an IV infusion over 20-30 minutes. The first dose is usually given within 2 hours before transplantation surgery, and the second dose is given 4 days after the surgery. Therefore, if the nurse prepared the dose of basiliximab at 08:00, it needs to be administered at 12:00, which is 4 hours after preparation. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they are not 4 hours after preparation.
