A nurse is collecting data from a client who has a new prescription for amoxicillin. Which of the following findings indicates that the client is having an allergic reaction to the medication?
Correct answer
A
Rationale
The correct answer is A: Wheezing. Wheezing is indicative of an allergic reaction to amoxicillin, as it suggests bronchoconstriction and airway inflammation commonly seen in drug allergies. Bradycardia (B) is not typically associated with allergic reactions. Polyuria (C) is excessive urination and not a common symptom of drug allergies. Bruising (D) is unrelated to an allergic reaction to amoxicillin. Therefore, wheezing is the most relevant finding indicating an allergic reaction.
