What treatment options should be considered if an acute, severe allergic reaction is suspected?
Answer: D - Oxygen, epinephrine, and corticosteroids should be considered for treatment.
After receiving medication, any patient who experiences widespread itching, a rash, breathing problems, or a quick and weak heartbeat should be suspected of having an allergic reaction. Oxygen should be administered, epinephrine is injected subcutaneously or intramuscularly, and corticosteroids are injected intravenously.
