A child with symptoms of anaphylactic shock
Question 1 of 5
A child is brought to the emergency room with symptoms of anaphylactic shock. Which of the following cues would be most indicative of anaphylactic shock?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Wheezing and difficulty breathing. In anaphylactic shock, the body has a severe allergic reaction, leading to airway constriction and difficulty breathing. Wheezing is caused by the narrowing of the air passages. This is a critical sign of anaphylactic shock as it indicates a potential life-threatening situation requiring immediate intervention, such as administering epinephrine. The other choices are not specific to anaphylactic shock. Nausea and vomiting (
A) can occur but are not unique to anaphylaxis. Fever and chills (
C) are more likely indicative of an infection. Hives and itching (
D) are common symptoms of an allergic reaction but may not always accompany anaphylactic shock.
