Correct Answer: 2
Rationale: Any time a new medication is provided to the patient, it is important to monitor for an allergic reaction. Anaphylaxis, a life-threatening allergic reaction, can impair breathing. Monitoring lab values and measuring weight might be appropriate nursing interventions with some medications, but would not be the priority. Nurses do not prescribe medications.
