A client experiencing anaphylactic shock in response to vaccine administration.
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following medications should the nurse administer first?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Epinephrine. In a critical situation such as anaphylaxis or severe allergic reaction, epinephrine is the first-line medication as it acts quickly to reverse life-threatening symptoms like airway constriction and low blood pressure. Epinephrine's vasoconstriction effect helps improve blood pressure and dilates the airways, ensuring adequate oxygen supply. Furosemide (
B) is a diuretic used for fluid overload, not for immediate life-threatening situations. Methylprednisolone (
C) is a corticosteroid used for inflammation and allergic reactions, but it acts slower than epinephrine. Dobutamine (
D) is a cardiac stimulant used for heart failure, not for immediate reversal of severe symptoms like epinephrine.
