Answer to Question 1

A
The killer T cells attach to the antigen, disrupt the cell membrane, and cause the cell's destruction.

Answer to Question 2

1
Feedback
1. The EpiPen will help decrease the respiratory tract swelling because this is an anaphylactic episode.
2. Benadryl can be used, but in this case, the child is in respiratory danger and needs a fast-acting medication.
3. Tylenol is not used in this anaphylactic event.
4. An antihistamine can be used, but it works too slowly for this situation due to the respiratory involvement.
