Question: In a patient with lymphocytic leukemia, our physician administered meperidine IV push along with chemotherapy. The administration of chemotherapy was stopped as the patient complained of pain and chills. After meperidine was administered, the chemotherapy was resumed. How can we report the meperidine administration in this case? Is meperidine administration considered incidental?
