Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client who is receiving penicillin IV. For which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider as a manifestation of anaphylaxis?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Wheezing. Anaphylaxis is a severe allergic reaction that can occur with penicillin IV. Wheezing is a common manifestation of anaphylaxis due to bronchoconstriction, leading to difficulty breathing. Reporting wheezing promptly is crucial as it indicates a potentially life-threatening situation that requires immediate intervention such as administering epinephrine. Increased blood pressure (
A) is not typically associated with anaphylaxis; hypotension is more common. Hypertonia (
B) and urinary retention (
D) are not typical signs of anaphylaxis and are not directly related to the respiratory distress seen in anaphylaxis.
