NCLEX RN Practice Question

A client with a documented allergy to penicillin is prescribed amoxicillin for an upper respiratory infection. What action should the nurse take next?

  • Ask the client to confirm their penicillin allergy before administering the medication.

  • Administer the medication as ordered because amoxicillin is not the same as penicillin.

  • Advise the client to monitor for any symptoms of an allergic reaction after taking the medication.

  • Hold the medication and consult the healthcare provider to verify its safety given the client's reported allergy.
