ATI Nur 307 Pediatrics Final Exam Questions
Extract:
A nurse in an emergency department is caring for an adolescent who is experiencing an anaphylactic reaction.
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following is the priority action by the nurse?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Administer IM epinephrine to the child. This is the priority action because epinephrine is the first-line treatment for anaphylaxis, a severe allergic reaction that can be life-threatening. Administering epinephrine promptly can help reverse the symptoms and prevent further complications. Elevating the head of the bed (choice
A) can be helpful, but it is not the priority in this situation. Determining the allergen (choice
C) is important for long-term management but not immediate priority. Inserting a large bore IV catheter (choice
D) may be needed later for additional medications, but administering epinephrine takes precedence in managing anaphylaxis.
