You are called to assist a 25-year-old female patient who is in profound respiratory distress. The patient has a history of asthma and severe allergies to peanuts. She has a prescribed albuterol inhaler and an epinephrine auto-injector. The patient states she was working in her garden when she accidentally stirred up a hornets' nest and was stung multiple times. The patient has wheezing in all fields, and is breathing at 28 times per minute. She states that she triggered her asthma by running across the yard to the safety of her home.

Your next action is to call medical control and then do what?

  B) Request to assist the patient with her epinephrine pen for anaphylaxis.
  C) Request to assist the patient with her Albuterol for anaphylaxis.
  D) Request to assist the patient with her Albuterol inhaler for her asthma.
