  C) put the patient in a semi-Fowler's position on the stretcher and immediately transport.
  D) place the mother in a supine, head-down position with hips elevated and administer high-concentration oxygen.

Question 2

A patient states that he is allergic to poison ivy and was burning it yesterday when he accidentally inhaled some of the smoke.

Your next action would be to:
 
  A) provide immediate and rapid transport.
