  1. 1A 19-year-old female was stung multiple times on the legs by fire ants. She states that she is allergic to fire ants, but does not carry her own epinephrine. The patient is conscious and alert and complains of pain to the area of the bites. Her blood pressure is 122/70 mm Hg, her pulse is 100 beats/min and strong, and her respirations are 18 breaths/min and unlabored. You should:
    1. Aposition her legs well above the level of her heart.
    2. Badminister oxygen and transport her to the hospital.
    3. Crequest a paramedic unit to administer epinephrine.
    4. Dadvise her to see her physician as soon as possible.
  2. 2A 37-year-old male is having a severe allergic reaction to penicillin. He does not have an epinephrine auto-injector and your protocols do not allow you to carry epinephrine on the ambulance. How should you proceed with the treatment of this patient?
    1. AAsk the patient if he has any diphenhydramine (Benadryl) tablets that you can administer.
    2. BAdminister oxygen, transport at once, and request a paramedic intercept.
    3. CRemain at the scene with the patient and request a paramedic ambulance.
    4. DQuickly determine if there are any bystanders who may carry epinephrine.
  3. 3A 38-year-old female was bitten by fire ants while at the park with her kids. Your primary assessment reveals that she is semiconscious, has profoundly labored breathing, and has a rapid, thready pulse. She has a red rash on her entire body and her face is very swollen. You should:
    1. Aperform a rapid secondary assessment.
    2. Bassist her ventilations with 100% oxygen.
    3. Cadminister 0.3 mg of epinephrine.
    4. Dplace her supine with her legs elevated 6″ to 12″.
  4. 4A 48-year-old male is found unconscious in the garden by his wife. When you arrive at the scene and assess the man, you find that he is unresponsive, has severely labored breathing, and has hives over his entire trunk. You should:
    1. Aperform a detailed secondary assessment.
    2. Bmaintain his airway and assist his ventilations.
    3. Cask his wife if he has any known allergies.
    4. Dapply the automated external defibrillator (AED) in the event that cardiac arrest occurs.
  5. 5A 50-year-old male was stung by a honeybee approximately 15 minutes ago. He presents with respiratory distress, facial swelling, and hypotension. After placing him on oxygen and administering his epinephrine via auto-injector, you note that his breathing has improved. Additionally, his facial swelling is resolving and his blood pressure is stable. Your next action should be to:
    1. Areassess his breathing and blood pressure in 15 minutes.
    2. Bvisualize his airway to assess for oropharyngeal swelling.
    3. Cnotify medical control of the patient's response to your treatment.
    4. Drecord the time and dose of the injection, and transport promptly.
  6. 6A 73-year-old man presents with a generalized rash, which he thinks may have been caused by an antibiotic that he recently began taking. He has a history of coronary artery disease, hypertension, and emphysema. He is conscious and alert, his blood pressure is 144/94 mm Hg, and his pulse is 64 beats/min and regular. You auscultate his breath sounds and hear scattered wheezing, although he is not experiencing respiratory distress. In addition to administering oxygen, you should:
    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.
    3. Cavoid the use of epinephrine because of his cardiac history, even if his symptoms become severe.
    4. Dbegin transport and request to administer epinephrine if his systolic blood pressure falls below 110 mm Hg.
  7. 7A raised, swollen, well-defined area on the skin that is the result of an insect bite or sting is called:
    1. Aa pustule.
    2. Bpurpura.
    3. Curticaria.
    4. Da wheal.
  8. 8After administering 0.3 mg of epinephrine via auto-injector to a 22-year-old female with an allergic reaction, you note improvement in her breathing and dissipation of her hives. However, she is still anxious and tachycardic. You should
    1. Acontact medical control and obtain authorization to administer another 0.3 mg of epinephrine
    2. Btransport her rapidly, as it is obvious that she is having a severe reaction to the epinephrine.
    3. Cmonitor her closely but recall that anxiety and tachycardia are side effects of epinephrine.
    4. Dconsider administering 0.15 mg of epinephrine to completely resolve her allergic reaction.
  9. 9Anaphylaxis is MOST accurately defined as a(n):
    1. Amoderate allergic reaction that primarily affects the vasculature.
    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:
    1. Athe stinger can easily be removed with tweezers.
    2. Bthe body's immune system deactivates the venom.
    3. Cthe toxicity of the venom decreases within 10 minutes.
    4. Dit can continue to inject venom for up to 20 minutes.
