You are on the scene of a 22-year-old female patient who is unresponsive. The patient's mother states that she is deathly allergic to peanuts and accidentally ate stir fry cooked in peanut oil. The patient is unresponsive with agonal respirations at 6 per minute. You insert an oral airway and administer oxygen at 15 liters per minute by bag-valve mask. You notice that it is difficult to bag the patient. Your partner listens to lung sounds and states they are very diminished in the upper fields and absent in the lower fields. After administering epinephrine per medical control via an auto-injector, your partner reassesses the lung sounds. He tells you that she is now wheezing loudly in all fields. What is your suspicion regarding the patient's condition?
A) There is no change in the patient's condition.
B) The patient is about to go into cardiac arrest.
C) The patient's condition is improving.
D) The patient's condition is worsening.
