Question 1 of 5
A nurse working on a medical unit is completing the admission of a client who reports a severe allergy to penicillin. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Verify the client’s medication prescriptions do not include cephalosporin. This is essential because cephalosporins are antibiotics that share a similar structure to penicillin and can potentially cause an allergic reaction in individuals with a penicillin allergy. By ensuring that the client's medication prescriptions do not include cephalosporin, the nurse is taking a proactive step to prevent any adverse reactions.
Removing objects containing latex (choice
A) is not directly related to the client’s penicillin allergy. Notifying dietary services to adjust the client’s diet (choice
C) is unnecessary as the allergy is to penicillin, not food. Having the client purchase a medication alert bracelet (choice
D) is not as immediate or essential as verifying medication prescriptions.
