Which of the following statements by the client indicates understanding of the teaching?

Explanation: Carrying an epinephrine auto-injector is a crucial self-management strategy for individuals with known allergies. In case of an allergic reaction, epinephrine can be administered promptly to counteract severe symptoms and potentially prevent anaphylaxis. This response demonstrates the client's understanding of the importance of being prepared to manage allergic reactions.

A) "I will avoid all potential allergens to prevent any reaction."

While avoiding known allergens is an essential aspect of managing allergies, it is often challenging to avoid all potential allergens. Some allergens may be difficult to identify or encounter unexpectedly. Carrying an epinephrine auto-injector provides a more comprehensive approach to self-management.

C) "I will take antihistamine medication every day to prevent reactions."

Antihistamines are primarily used for relieving symptoms of allergic reactions, such as itching or congestion, rather than preventing reactions. Taking antihistamines every day is not the recommended approach for preventing allergic reactions.

D) "I will self-administer corticosteroid injections during allergic reactions."

Corticosteroid injections are generally administered by healthcare professionals and are not intended for self-administration during allergic reactions. Corticosteroids may be part of the treatment plan for severe allergic reactions but are typically prescribed and administered under medical supervision.
