Correct Answer: B

Rationale:
Correct
Answer: B. The client experiencing hypotension indicates a possible vancomycin infusion reaction. Vancomycin is known to cause hypotension as a side effect, which could be a sign of an adverse reaction. Hypotension can be a symptom of anaphylaxis or "red man syndrome" associated with vancomycin infusion. Monitoring for hypotension is crucial during vancomycin administration.

Incorrect choices:
A: The client having an increased creatinine level is not typically associated with vancomycin infusion reactions. This finding may indicate kidney damage but is not specific to a vancomycin reaction.
C: Red and edematous IV site suggests local inflammation or infection at the IV site, not necessarily related to vancomycin infusion.
D: Ringing in the ears is a symptom of ototoxicity, a known side effect of vancomycin, but not specific to an infusion reaction.
