patient is in anaphylaxis after accidentally ingesting peanut butter. Louis has never used an
EpiPen auto Injector so he administers the medication to gain experience. Louis deploys the

confused. He notes fluid remaining in the chamber after administration. You tell him, "Louis,
only around___________of the epinephrine gets injected, the rest remains in the auto

shortness of breath. Which of the following is NOT an appropriate action for you to take? -

Which type of shock would you expect to find in a patient who has vomiting, urinating, and

the body's metabolic balance and be the reason for additional care to balance the metabolic
system as well.
