A nurse is caring for a new patient admitted after having 3 seizures at home. The provider has ordered phenytoin (Dilantin), 100 mg, IV infusion, over 30 minutes, every eight hours Why will the nurse question this order and contact the provider?

Phenytoin should be given as an IV push and not as a slow infusion over 30 minutes

Phenytoin should be given as needed (pm) and there is no indication listed in the order

Phenytoin given greater than two times a day can cause gingival hyperplasia and excessive hair growth

Phenytoin should be given very slowly over at least one hour
