NRNP 6566 Week 9 Knowledge Check. Questions & Answers.
A 32 year old preschool teacher complains of difficulty swallowing, sore throat, and chills. She is febrile with a temperature of 101.6 along with white patches on her tonsils. Her rapid strep test is positive. Her past medical history is positive for an anaphylactic reaction to cefaclor two years ago. What antibiotic could be safely utilized in this patient? Correct Answer: Streptococcus is usually treated with amoxicillin. Her type 1 anaphylactic re-action to a cephalosporin means you should not use a cephalosporin or peni-cillin. Acceptable alternatives would be macrolide such as azithromycin or clindamycin.
