Hello! I'm a senior nursing student and was wondering if you're possibly able to help me figure out what to do? As a child I experienced an anaphylactic allergic reaction to Cephalosporins and had to be hospitalized. I have not been exposed since then so I don't know how my body would react at this point. I was 4 years old so I don't have much memory but I was told that I had difficulty breathing and that my throat was closing in. Because of this, I am a bit nervous about how to navigate dealing with administering Cephalosporins to patients. What would you do if you were in my shoes? Is this something I should notify my nurse manager of when I'm hired on to a unit? What precautions should I be taking to keep myself safe? Thank you in advance!
