Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to transfuse one unit of packed RBC to a client who experienced a mild allergic reaction during a previous transfusion. The nurse should administer diphenhydramine prior to the transfusion for which of the following allergic responses?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Urticaria. Diphenhydramine is an antihistamine that can help manage allergic reactions like urticaria (hives) by blocking histamine release. Hemolysis (choice
A) is a reaction where RBCs are destroyed, not an allergic response. Fever (choice
C) can be a sign of a febrile non-hemolytic transfusion reaction, not directly related to histamine release. Fluid overload (choice
D) is a transfusion reaction due to excessive volume, not an allergic response. Administering diphenhydramine is focused on managing histamine-related symptoms like urticaria in this scenario.
