Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Epinephrine. When a client exhibits symptoms of anxiety, hypotension, and dyspnea after receiving cefazolin IV, it indicates a severe allergic reaction/anaphylaxis. Epinephrine is the first-line medication for anaphylaxis as it acts quickly to reverse the symptoms by constricting blood vessels, increasing blood pressure, and opening airways. Diphenhydramine (
A) is an antihistamine that can be given as a second-line treatment. Albuterol inhaler (
B) is used for bronchospasm but is not the first choice in anaphylaxis. Prednisone (
D) is a corticosteroid that may be used later for inflammation but is not the initial treatment for anaphylaxis.
