Nokea
A patient who was walking in the woods disturbed a beehive, was stung, and was taken to the emergency department immediately due to allergies to bee stings. Which of the ff. symptoms would the nurse expect to see upon admission of this patient? i.Pallor around the sting bites iv. Retinal hemorrhage ii.Numbness and tingling in the extremities v. Tachycardia iii.Respiratory stridor vi. Dyspnea
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The nurse would expect to see respiratory stridor (iii), tachycardia (v), and dyspnea (vi) upon admission of the patient who was stung by a bee, particularly if the patient has allergies to bee stings. These symptoms are indicative of an allergic reaction, which can progress to anaphylaxis in severe cases. Symptoms such as pallor around the sting bites (i), retinal hemorrhage (iv), and numbness and tingling in the extremities (ii) are not typically associated with an allergic reaction to a bee sting.
