A nurse is caring for a client who is at risk for anaphylaxis due to bee stings. When reinforcing teaching about the use of an automatic epinephrine injector, which of the following actions is the priority?

The correct answer is choice A, apply a motion sensor mat to the client's bed. This is an effective intervention to monitor the client's movements and prevent falls. The mat is placed under the bed sheet and will sound an alarm if the client tries to get out of bed.

1. Moving the overbed table away from the bed is not the correct answer because it does not prevent falls.
2. Raising all four side rails while the client is in bed is not the correct answer because it can cause the client to feel trapped and can lead to injuries if they try to climb over the rails.
3. Leaving the television on in the client's room is not the correct answer because it can be distracting and interfere with the client's sleep.

Epoetin alfa is a medication used to stimulate erythropoiesis, the production of red blood cells. An increase in the client's hemoglobin level indicates that the medication has been effective. The normal range of hemoglobin for adult females is 12-16 g/dL and for adult males is 13.5-17.5 g/dL. A hemoglobin level of 11 g/dL is slightly below the normal range, but it is an improvement from a lower level. Choice B, WBC count 9,000/mm3 is unrelated to the medication and is within the normal range. Choice

C, total calcium 10 mg/dL, and choice D, PT 12 seconds, are also unrelated to the medication and are within the normal range.

Choice B (WBC count 9,000/mm3) is not an answer because it is unrelated to the medication and is within the normal range.

Choice C (total calcium 10 mg/dL) is not an answer because it is unrelated to the medication and is within the normal range.

Choice D (PT 12 seconds) is not an answer because it is unrelated to the medication and is within the normal range.
