Question 1 of 5
Shortly after providing a new sleeping pill to a patient on the medical unit, the nurse answers the patient's call light. Which of the following findings would indicate to the nurse that the patient is experiencing an anaphylactic reaction to the medication?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A. Anaphylactic reactions are severe allergic reactions that can result in respiratory distress, including shortness of breath due to airway swelling and constriction. This is a critical sign that requires immediate intervention to prevent further complications.
Choices B, C, and D do not specifically indicate an anaphylactic reaction. Feeling hot, flushed face, nausea, headache, continued wakefulness, and agitation are common side effects of many medications but are not specific to an anaphylactic reaction. It is essential for the nurse to recognize the signs of an anaphylactic reaction promptly to provide appropriate care.
