You are on the scene of a 30-year-old male patient who is unresponsive. You suspect the patient is s

You are on the scene of a 30-year-old male patient who is unresponsive. You suspect the patient is suffering from a severe anaphylactic reaction. 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 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 the next action you should perform?
A) Hyperventilate the patient.
B) Contact medical control and request to administer another dose of epinephrine.
C) Place the patient on a nonrebreather mask.
D) Discontinue bagging the patient.
