RUBYMARTINEZ

So my first TB was in February, which was negative, then 2 weeks after it was also negative. A year before I remember having a slight reaction, and the doctor said i must have been around someone exposed to it. .... In order for us to register for our winter intersession we need an up to date tb, so I went today. Its red all around about the size of a quarter and slightly raised. I'm freaking out because we start our OB rotation in two days, and the program is only getting more intense. has anyone been or heard of a situation similar? I dont want to risk getting babies sick, and I dont want to miss my rotation and miss out on OB, which I feel I want to work in.

... with an allergy reaction a patient may begin to feel flushed, swelling and hives. ..so with vitals I would think... Elevated hr, rr bp and even temp. I would also think the patient may start feeling anxious... I should compare these vitals to the initial vitals and see if these numbers are different. .... someone had mentioned dropped bp, and I couldn't understand why.. which initially brought me to post my question.

1st Semester nursing.... Hello, My school does first rotations with clinics before hospitals, but I had a question regarding a patient I saw today. I performed my first IM of antibiotics and we had the patient sit and wait 15 min and re-take vitals, then we let the patient leave. Now I know for any allergic reactions, skin assessment should be noted, but my the nurse I was working with only looked at the vitals and let her go home. LOOKING AT VITALS ONLY... what is something that would cue you that the pt. is having a reaction to the medication? and why? I'll take references if you have any.
