Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Anaphylactic shock is a life-threatening emergency requiring prompt treatment with epinephrine, which helps to reverse the shock by increasing heart rate and blood pressure, opening up airways, and reducing swelling. Placing the patient in Trendelenburg position (head down, feet up) could worsen the patient's condition by increasing swelling and hypotension. Cooling blankets may reduce fever or hyperthermia but are not indicated for anaphylactic shock, which involves hypotension and vascular collapse. Administering low-flow oxygen may also be necessary, but it should not be the first priority when treating anaphylactic shock.
