Q1. A patient is experiencing symptoms of anaphylaxis. What is the most appropriate course of action?
Answer: Administering epinephrine to constrict blood vessels
Explanation: Epinephrine is effective in treating anaphylaxis by constricting blood vessels and improving breathing. Hydrocortisone reduces inflammation but is not the primary treatment for anaphylaxis. Diphenhydramine increases histamine release, making it contraindicated in anaphylaxis. Norepinephrine increases blood pressure but is not the first-line treatment.
