You are about to transport a cancer patient who complains of dyspnea. She is hemodynamically stable and has a history of asthma. On assessment, you note that she has some diffuse wheezes. You are going to administer an albuterol treatment and your protocol states that you should start an IV when you give a breathing treatment. The patient says that she has very bad veins, but she has an implanted port under the skin of her left chest. What is the best course of action?

A) Administer albuterol only, as there is no urgent need for an IV. B) Withhold all treatment, as albuterol may negatively interact with her chemotherapy. C) Contact medical control for orders to access the port before beginning the albuterol treatment. D) Some implanted ports require special catheters, so try for a peripheral line.
