If they are hypertensive
If they are hypoxic
If they are suffering an acute allergic reaction
During a myocardial infarction

Explanation

Answer: C - Epinephrine should be given to a patient if they are suffering an acute allergic reaction. Epinephrine works by stimulating alpha, beta-1, and beta-2 adrenergic receptors in dose-related fashion. It is the initial drug of choice for treating bronchoconstriction and hypotension resulting from anaphylaxis.
