ANS: A
When held perpendicularly against the thigh and activated, the needle of the EpiPen penetrates the skin and a single dose of epinephrine is injected into the muscle. Once the epinephrine is administered, the person should go to a hospital emergency department because additional treatment may be necessary. The physician does not have to be notified prior to administration. A second dose should not be provided at this time.
