Question 1 of 5

Thirty minutes after receiving meperidine, the client develops a temperature of 101°F and the skin is warm and flushed with a notable rash on the chest and back. The nurse contacts the primary health care provider and begins to document on an incident report. Which information should be included?

A. The client had an allergic reaction to the ordered meperidine. B. The primary health care provider was notified because the client developed a rash after receiving an opioid analgesic. C. The client’s skin was warm and flushed, and a rash was noted on the chest and back. D. Thirty minutes after receiving meperidine, the temperature was 101°F (38.3°C).

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D because it directly addresses the key information related to the client's condition after receiving meperidine. Documenting the time of temperature elevation and the actual temperature is crucial for monitoring the client's response to the medication. This information helps in assessing for potential adverse reactions or side effects of meperidine.

Choice A is incorrect because attributing the reaction solely to an allergic response without concrete evidence is premature.
Choice B is incorrect as it focuses on the notification of the primary health care provider rather than the essential clinical data.
Choice C is incorrect as it mentions the physical findings but lacks the critical data of the temperature elevation. The other choices (E, F, G) are not relevant to the situation described.

In summary, documenting the specific temperature change after medication administration is essential for assessing the client's response and guiding further interventions.
