A nurse is assessing a client for a suspected anaphylactic reaction following a CT scan with contrast media. For
which of the following client findings should the nurse intervene first?
- A. Urticaria
- B. Stridor
- C. Vomiting
- D. Hypotension
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Stridor. Stridor is a high-pitched, inspiratory sound that indicates upper airway obstruction and impending respiratory distress, which is a life-threatening complication of anaphylaxis. The nurse should intervene first by ensuring a patent airway to prevent respiratory compromise. Urticaria (A) is a common symptom of an allergic reaction but does not pose an immediate threat to airway patency. Vomiting (C) can be a sign of gastrointestinal distress but does not require immediate intervention for airway protection. Hypotension (D) is a serious manifestation of anaphylaxis but addressing airway obstruction takes precedence to prevent respiratory failure.
