Two hours after taking a dose of penicillin, a patient arrives in the emergency department complaining of feeling ill. The nurse notes that the patient is scratching and has hives.
 
  While the assessment is being completed, the patient develops difficulty breathing and the blood pressure drops. Select the most likely analysis of the situation. A. The patient is experiencing a moderate allergic reaction that should improve shortly.
  B. The patient is having a mild reaction that can be treated safely and easily with an antihistamine.
  C. These symptoms are probably a result of another cause because fewer than 10 of patients have true allergic responses.
  D. The patient is experiencing an anaphylactic response, and emergency interventions should be started.
