Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
One of the diagnostic criteria for toxic shock syndrome is a diffuse macular erythroderma. Hypotension is one of the manifestations. Fever of 38.9 C or higher is a characteristic. Desquamation of the palms and soles of the feet occurs in about 1 to 2 weeks.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
After the first priority of establishing an airway, administration of epinephrine is the drug of choice. Diphenhydramine, an antihistamine, is usually not used for severe reactions. Dobutamine and calcium chloride are not appropriate drugs for this type of reaction.
