A nurse is caring for a client who has an allergy to penicillin. The health care provider has prescribed amoxicillin. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Rationale: A. The pharmacist can provide drug information, but clarification of prescriptions must be done directly with the prescribing provider to ensure client safety. B. An incident report is completed only after an actual error or adverse event occurs — not before administration. C. Amoxicillin is a penicillin derivative, and clients allergic to penicillin may have a cross-sensitivity reaction. The nurse must hold the medication and notify the provider immediately to obtain an alternative antibiotic. D. Administering the medication despite a documented allergy is a serious safety violation and can result in anaphylaxis.
