Ans:
A

Feedback:

Treatment includes immediate discontinuation of the inciting agent; close monitoring of CV and respiratory function; and maintenance of respiratory gas exchange, cardiac output, and tissue perfusion. Epinephrine is given in an anaphylactic reaction because it constricts blood vessels and relaxes the smooth muscle in the bronchioles.
