Which symptom is the most common with a hypersensitivity reaction to a medication?.

Choice A rationale:
Evaluation is the final step in the nursing process where the nurse determines if the goals set in the planning stage have been met. This does not involve identifying the therapeutic intent of a medication.
Choice B rationale:
Assessment is the first step in the nursing process where the nurse gathers information about the patient’s physical, psychological, sociocultural, and spiritual status. While this may involve understanding the patient’s medication regimen, it does not specifically involve identifying the therapeutic intent of a medication.
Choice C rationale:
Planning involves setting goals and developing a plan to meet those goals. While this may involve considering the therapeutic intent of a medication, it is not the step where this identification occurs.
Choice D rationale:
Implementation is the step of the nursing process where the nurse executes the plan of care. This includes identifying the therapeutic intent of a prescribed medication.

Choice A rationale:
The frequency of drug administration doesn’t necessarily determine the therapeutic range.
Choice B rationale:
Protein binding is not directly related to the frequency of drug administration.
Choice C rationale:
Drug A has a longer half-life than drug B. This is because drugs with longer half-lives need to be administered less frequently.
Choice D rationale:
The toxicity of a drug is not determined by the frequency of its administration.
