Question 1 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who received diphenhydramine 1 hr ago after developing an allergic reaction to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. Which of the following statements by the client should indicate to the nurse that the medication is effective?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
Correct Answer: B - My voice is no longer hoarse.
Rationale: The client's hoarse voice indicates a common symptom of an allergic reaction, which diphenhydramine is used to treat by reducing the allergic response. Improvement in the hoarseness suggests that the medication is effectively addressing the allergic reaction.
Incorrect
Choices:
A: I don't have a headache anymore - Headache is not directly related to the allergic reaction or the effectiveness of diphenhydramine.
C: My appetite is increased - Changes in appetite are not typical indicators of diphenhydramine effectiveness for allergic reactions.
D: I am feeling more alert - Alertness is not a common symptom of an allergic reaction nor a typical indicator of diphenhydramine effectiveness in this scenario.
