A nurse is assessing a client who has a prescription for cefaclor. Which of the following findings should the nurse recognize as an indication of an allergic reaction?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
The correct answer is B: Pruritus. Pruritus, or itching, is a common manifestation of an allergic reaction to medications like cefaclor. Allergic reactions can present with skin symptoms such as rash, hives, or itching. Hematuria (A) is not typically associated with allergic reactions but may indicate kidney issues. Slurred speech (C) and tremor (D) are more likely to be related to neurological or systemic side effects of medications rather than allergic reactions.
