question 1: when should you call ems/9 - 1 - 1 for an allergic reaction?
a) when the reaction is triggered by exposure to peanuts
b) when the reaction affects the persons skin
c) when the person is struggling to breathe
d) when you cannot safely move the person away from the allergen
question 2: which of the following is part of the care for an asthma attack?
a) helping the person take his or her long - term control medication (preventer)
b) helping the person to use his or her epinephrine auto - injector
c) eliminating any asthma triggers, if possible
d) having the person sit with the head between the knees
question 3: after using an epinephrine auto - injector for a person having an anaphylactic reaction, when should you repeat the dose?
a) if the person has not fully recovered within 5 minutes
b) if the persons condition does not improve within 5 minutes
c) if the persons condition starts to improve within 10 minutes
d) if ems personnel have not arrived within 10 minutes

Explanation:

• For Question 1: Struggling to breathe in an allergic - reaction is a life - threatening symptom, warranting an EMS/9 - 1 - 1 call. Skin reactions or peanut exposure alone may not be as urgent. Inability to move away from the allergen is not the main criterion for calling EMS.
• For Question 2: Eliminating asthma triggers can help manage an asthma attack. Long - term control medications are for prevention, not for during an attack. Epinephrine auto - injectors are for severe allergic reactions, not typical asthma attacks. Sitting with head between knees is not a standard care for asthma attacks.
• For Question 3: If the person's condition does not improve within 5 minutes after using an epinephrine auto - injector for an anaphylactic reaction, the dose may be repeated. Full recovery within 5 minutes is not the only factor, and improvement or arrival of EMS within 10 minutes are not the correct criteria for repeating the dose.

Answer:

Question 1: c) When the person is struggling to breathe
Question 2: c) Eliminating any asthma triggers, if possible
Question 3: b) If the person's condition does not improve within 5 minutes
