Your patient is a 24-year-old woman with asthma who is struggling to breathe and is very agitated. S

Your patient is a 24-year-old woman with asthma who is struggling to breathe and is very agitated. She has cyanosis of her lips and nail beds, and is cool and clammy to the touch.

A) Have your partner restrain the patient's hands so you can ventilate her.
B) Wait for the patient's level of consciousness to decrease so that she can no longer resist your attempts to ventilate.
C) Begin transport immediately and contact medical control for advice.
D) Use a nasal cannula to administer supplemental oxygen.
