A client who received an allograft develops symptoms of vomiting, diarrhea, and a pruritic rash on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet. The nurse recognizes that the client is experiencing:
 
  1. acute rejection.
  2. GVH disease.
  3. chronic rejection.
  4. an allergic response.

Question 2

  1. injection site for signs and symptoms of the inflammatory response.
  2. skin to check for urticaria.
  3. dose of medication taken by the client.
  4. respirations to determine airway patency.
