    1. Acontact medical control if needed, transport the patient, and monitor him for signs of deterioration
    2. Bask him if he has epinephrine and request approval from medical control to administer it to the patient.

    2. Bextreme allergic reaction that may affect multiple body systems.
    3. Csevere allergic reaction that typically resolves without treatment.
    4. Dallergic reaction that causes bronchodilation and vasoconstriction.
  10. 10Because the stinger of a honeybee remains in the wound following a sting:
