Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who develops an anaphylactic reaction to IV antibiotic administration. After assessing the client's respiratory status and stopping the medication infusion, which of the following actions should the nurse take next?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Administer epinephrine IM. Epinephrine is the first-line treatment for anaphylaxis as it acts quickly to reverse severe allergic reactions by constricting blood vessels, relaxing airway muscles, and increasing heart rate. Administering epinephrine promptly can prevent progression to life-threatening symptoms such as respiratory distress and cardiovascular collapse. The other options are not the priority in this situation: B (replacing the infusion with saline) does not address the immediate need for managing the anaphylactic reaction, C (giving diphenhydramine) may be considered later for symptom relief but does not provide the rapid response needed, and D (elevating legs and feet) is not effective in treating anaphylaxis.
