This question may be asked to see what your threshold is for ignoring a patient's complaints. The interviewer wants to know not only your sensitivity to respecting what is reported, but also where you draw the line. Drawing it too conservatively may put the patient in danger, and drawing it too liberally may result in unnecessary and costly diagnostics and/or treatment.

"This probably isn't directly caused by the medication, but I feel that the safest approach is to assume that any medication can cause anything in anybody. I would of course discontinue the drug and simply wait. After the complaint resolved, I would do skin testing."
