A nurse is teaching a client who has multiple allergies about using an epinephrine auto-injector. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Administer the medication through clothing if necessary. This instruction is important because during an emergency situation when administering epinephrine, it may not be practical to expose the skin for an injection. By allowing the medication to be administered through clothing if necessary, the client can receive the life-saving medication quickly and effectively.
