Question

You arrive on scene to find a young woman who is having trouble talking. She has hives and is starting to gasp for air. Her friend says she was just stung by a bee. Your immediate actions should include all of the following except ____.

A. assess the bee sting for signs of an infection
B. administer epinephrine (If your state and local EMS protocols allow)
C. provide airway support
D. administer supplemental oxygen

Answer 1

The correct answer is A. Assess the bee sting for signs of an infection.

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the given information, the correct answer is A. Assess the bee sting for signs of an infection. When arriving on the scene to find a person having an allergic reaction to a bee sting, immediate actions should include assessing the person's airway, providing airway support if necessary, administering epinephrine (if allowed by state and local EMS protocols), and administering supplemental oxygen. However, assessing the bee sting for signs of an infection is not a necessary immediate action in this situation. The priority is to manage the person's allergic reaction and ensure their airway is clear.
