You are dispatched to the local elementary school for an injured student. Upon arrival you find that two 7-year-olds got into a fight and one of them jabbed a pencil in the other's cheek. The pencil is still sticking out of the child's cheek. When you examine the patient, you cannot see the end of the pencil that went through the cheek, as it appears to be stuck in the palate. There is not significant bleeding, and the child is not having any difficulty breathing. The child is very upset and wants you to pull the pencil out. What should you do?
 
  A) Stabilize the object, but do not try to remove it.
  B) Call the parents and see what they want you to do.
  C) Remove the object and put a bandage on the outside of the cheek.
  D) Let the child carefully pull the object out.

Question 2

A patient informs you that he found out he is allergic to certain molds and was prescribed an epinephrine auto-injector. He asks you how the epinephrine will help him the next time he is exposed to mold. Your response would be:
 
  A) It will quickly destroy the allergen in the mold.
  B) It will provide antibodies to your body and give you temporary immunity.
  C) It will reverse the reaction by mimicking the parasympathetic nervous system in your body.
  D) It will cause the blood vessels to constrict and increase your blood pressure.
