The patient is alert and oriented to time, place, person, and event. Lung sounds are clear bilaterally. The left arm is swollen and the stinger is not present. Blood pressure is 118/72 and pulse is 110. The patient's mother states she is allergic to bee stings and has an epinephrine auto-injector. She called 911 because she was afraid the patient would stop breathing. Select the BEST treatment plan.
A) Place a constricting band around the arm to minimize the spread of the venom.
B) Monitor the patient for shock and transport.
C) Assist the patient in administering her epinephrine auto-injector.
