Note IV injection sites for signs of phlebitis (redness, swelling, pain). Watch for petechiae, ecchymotic areas, epistaxis, or any unexplained bleeding. Ceftriaxone appears to alter vitamin K– producing gut bacteria; therefore, hypoprothrombinemic bleeding may occur. Check for fever if diarrhea occurs. Incidence of antibiotic-produced pseudomembranous colitis is higher than with most cephalosporins. Culture and sensitivity tests before initiation of therapy and periodically during therapy. Initial culture and sensitivity results were not back. Discontinue med immediately and notify physician if hypersensitivity observed.
