Question 1 of 5
In reviewing a plan of care for a patient exhibiting the symptoms of anaphylaxis, which of the following medications would be avoided?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Vasodilators. Vasodilators should be avoided in anaphylaxis as they can worsen hypotension and shock by dilating blood vessels, leading to further drop in blood pressure. Antihistamines (
A) can help relieve itching and hives. Corticosteroids (
C) can reduce inflammation and improve airway swelling. Bronchodilators (
D) can help open airways for better breathing. It's important to prioritize addressing airway compromise and circulatory collapse in anaphylaxis, making vasodilators contraindicated.
