Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
The administration of vaccines for immunization possesses the risk of an allergic reaction and anaphylaxis. The nurse should have aqueous epinephrine available in the event of an anaphylactic reaction. The administration of diphenhydramine or hydroxyzine will reduce the allergic reaction but will not be effective in the event of anaphylaxis. Physostigmine is not administered.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Gradually tapering the dose is necessary for any systemic corticosteroid. It is not imperative to avoid grapefruit juice or take vitamin D supplements. Daily doses are not normally adjusted on the basis of short-term symptoms.
