Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a child who is allergic to penicillin. The nurse should verify which of the following prescriptions with the provider?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Amoxicillin-clavulanate. The nurse should verify this prescription because it is a combination antibiotic that includes a penicillin derivative. By verifying this prescription with the provider, the nurse ensures that the child does not receive a medication that could potentially trigger an allergic reaction.
Explanation for other choices:
A: Erythromycin - Although erythromycin is not a penicillin antibiotic, it is not the best choice for a child allergic to penicillin.
B: Gentamicin - Gentamicin is not a penicillin antibiotic, but it is not typically used as an alternative to penicillin in cases of penicillin allergy.
D: Amphotericin B - Amphotericin B is an antifungal medication and not an antibiotic, making it an irrelevant choice in this scenario.
