Question 2
Your group of climbers has reached an elevation of 8,500 feet. One of the climbers is increasingly short of breath and now has audible chest congestion.

Based on your assessment that the climber has HAPE, you recognize that the next necessary treatment is:
a. a rapid descent of at least 1,500 to 3,000 feet.
b. to administer diuretics such as Diamox to reduce the patient's pulmonary edema.
