Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is receiving ceftriaxone intravenously. Which of the following manifestations should the nurse identify as an allergic reaction?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Hypotension. Allergic reactions to ceftriaxone can cause vasodilation, leading to a drop in blood pressure (hypotension). This occurs due to the release of histamine and other inflammatory mediators in response to the allergen. Polyuria (
A) is excessive urination, not typically associated with allergic reactions. Bradycardia (
B) is a slow heart rate, which is not a common manifestation of allergic reactions. Nausea (
D) can occur with allergic reactions but is not specific to ceftriaxone allergies.
