Question 1 of 5
A nurse in an emergency department is caring for a client who is suspected to have anaphylaxis following a bee sting. Which of the following actions should the nurse take first?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Administer epinephrine. In anaphylaxis, prompt administration of epinephrine is crucial to reverse the severe allergic reaction and prevent further complications. Epinephrine helps to constrict blood vessels, increase heart rate, and open airways, which are essential in managing anaphylaxis. This immediate action takes priority over other interventions as it can be life-saving. Auscultating for wheezing (
A) is important but not as urgent as administering epinephrine. Assessing the client's level of consciousness (
B) can be done after administering epinephrine to stabilize the client. Monitoring for hypotension (
D) is important, but the first priority is to address the airway compromise and circulatory collapse with epinephrine.
