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:
Correct
Answer: A. Administer epinephrine IM.


Rationale: Epinephrine is the first-line treatment for anaphylaxis as it acts quickly to reverse the severe symptoms. Administering it intramuscularly helps in rapid absorption and onset of action, improving the client's chances of recovery.

Summary of Other

Choices:
B. Elevating the client's legs and feet is not the priority in anaphylaxis. While it may help with blood circulation, it does not address the immediate life-threatening symptoms.
C. Giving diphenhydramine IM can be considered as an adjunct therapy, but it is not the initial treatment for anaphylaxis.
D. Replacing the infusion with 0.9% sodium chloride does not address the anaphylactic reaction and should not be the first action taken in this situation.
