Answer:

C. Anaphylactic emergency

Step-by-step explanation:

In healthcare, "A is for airway" guides most things. If your patient doesn't have a secure, open, functioning airway, everything else you do is kind of pointless.

An anaphylactic emergency is where inflammation in the airways due to an allergic reaction causes airways to swell closed. No air = no oxygen = no life

Once they are breathing better, you can address high or low blood sugar, or overdosing issues.

Hope this was helpful.
