A nurse is caring for a client who reports chronic pain.
Which of the following actions by the nurse uses holistic nursing?

Choice A rationale:

Increased deep tendon reflexes are not typically associated with anaphylaxis. This is more commonly seen in conditions affecting the nervous system.

Choice B rationale:

While erythema of the skin can occur in anaphylaxis, it is not the most indicative symptom of this condition.

Choice C rationale:

Bradycardia is not typically associated with anaphylaxis. Anaphylaxis is more likely to cause tachycardia, or a rapid heart rate.

Choice D rationale:

Hypotension, or low blood pressure, is a common symptom of anaphylaxis. This occurs due to widespread vasodilation in response to the allergen.

Choice A rationale:

Creating a 6 mm (1/4 in) bleb in the intradermal space of the forearm is the correct procedure for a Mantoux tuberculin skin test.

Choice B rationale:

Visualizing the tip of the needle under the skin is the correct procedure for a Mantoux tuberculin skin test.

Choice C rationale:

Stretching the skin tightly before injection is the correct procedure for a Mantoux tuberculin skin test.

Choice D rationale:

Withdrawing the needle and massaging the site gently is incorrect. Massaging the site can cause the test solution to disperse, which can affect the test results.
