Two hours after taking a dose of penicillin, a patient arrives in the emergency department with complaints of slight shortness of breath, respirations 28/minute.
 
  Upon further assessment, a nurse observes pruritus and urticaria, BP 92/48, respirations 36/min. Select the most likely analysis of the situation. a. The patient is experiencing a moderate allergic reaction that will improve as the nurse applies oxygen.
  b. The patient is having a mild reaction that can be treated efficiently with adminis-tration of an antihistamine.
  c. These symptoms are most likely the 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 employed.
