A. any patient experiencing an allergic reaction
B. a patient with obvious local symptoms of an allergic reaction
C. patients with signs and symptoms of anaphylaxis
D. patients with signs and symptoms of a narcotic overdose

Answer 1

Epinephrine auto-injectors are indicated for patients with signs and symptoms of anaphylaxis.

Step-by-step explanation:

Epinephrine auto-injectors are indicated for patients with signs and symptoms of anaphylaxis. Anaphylaxis is a severe allergic reaction that can be life-threatening if left untreated. Epinephrine helps to constrict blood vessels, relax bronchial smooth muscle, and reduce swelling, thereby countering the effects of anaphylaxis and potentially saving lives.
