Question 1 of 5

A nurse is about to give a client amoxicillin but discovers that the client had a rash when taking penicillin in the past. What should the nurse's next step be?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Discuss with the provider the possibility of using a different antibiotic. This is the appropriate action because the client had a rash when taking penicillin in the past, indicating a potential allergic reaction. It is crucial to avoid giving amoxicillin, a penicillin-related antibiotic, to prevent a similar reaction. Discussing with the provider to consider an alternative antibiotic can help ensure the client's safety and effectiveness of treatment. Administering amoxicillin (choice
B) without addressing the allergy history can lead to a severe allergic reaction. Prescribing an antihistamine (choice
C) may not be sufficient to prevent a potential allergic reaction to amoxicillin. Asking for a beta-lactamase resistant drug (choice
D) does not address the underlying issue of the client's penicillin allergy.
