Question 5 of 5
After receiving shift report, the nurse is assessing a client started on trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole 2 days ago for treatment of a urinary tract infection. The client reports itching, and the nurse notices a diffuse maculopapular rash on the client's face. What should the nurse do first?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Examining the trunk and limbs determines the rash’s extent, guiding whether it’s a mild reaction or a severe one (e.g., Stevens-Johnson syndrome). Diphenhydramine, epinephrine, or allergy reassessment are secondary until the rash is fully assessed.
