When caring for an unconscious client with increasing intracranial pressure, the nursing intervention that is contraindicated is :

Choice A reason : Albuterol is a bronchodilator often used in asthma to relieve symptoms of bronchospasm. While it can help open airways, in a case of anaphylaxis, it does not address the systemic histamine release and is not the first-line treatment¹.

Choice B reason : Epinephrine is the primary treatment for anaphylaxis, which is a severe allergic reaction that can occur after a bee sting. It works rapidly to improve breathing, stimulate the heart, reverse hives, and reduce swelling of the face, lips, and throat¹³. In an emergency situation where a patient is experiencing anaphylactic symptoms such as difficulty breathing and a feeling of a lump in the throat, immediate administration of epinephrine is critical to counteract the reaction.

Choice C reason : The term "high-residual cannula" does not correspond to a recognized medical treatment or device. In the context of anaphylaxis, oxygen may be administered via a high-flow nasal cannula if the patient is experiencing respiratory distress, but this would be secondary to the administration of epinephrine.

Choice D reason : The option "Administer 5 mg prescription of the bee" is nonsensical as it does not refer to a legitimate medical treatment. In the context of bee stings, no medication is prescribed as "prescription of the bee."

Choice A reason : Anticoagulants are medications that prevent blood clots. They are not typically used to manage fluid volume excess in left-sided heart failure. Instead, they may be used if the patient has an increased risk of clotting due to reduced mobility or atrial fibrillation, which can be associated with heart failure⁵.

Choice B reason : Antiembolism stockings are used to prevent deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and are not directly related to the management of fluid volume excess. They may be used in heart failure patients to prevent DVT due to reduced mobility but do not aid in fluid reduction⁵.

Choice C reason : Oxygen therapy can be used in left-sided heart failure to alleviate symptoms of dyspnea due to pulmonary congestion. However, it does not directly reduce fluid volume excess. It is a supportive treatment to ensure adequate oxygenation⁵.

Choice D reason : Diuretics are the primary treatment for reducing fluid volume excess in left-sided heart failure. They work by increasing urine output, which helps to reduce the volume of fluid in the body and alleviate symptoms such as pulmonary edema and peripheral edema⁵.
