Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Occasionally, an allergic reaction is so severe that the patient has trouble breathing and his or her heart may stop. This life-threatening response is called an anaphylactic reaction.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
When it is discovered that an error has been made, the nurse should immediately check the patient. The physician should be notified promptly, and any orders the physician gives must be followed. The nurse manager or charge nurse also needs to be notified at once.
