The symptoms of swelling of the oral mucosa (angioedema), itching, and anxiety suggest an allergic reaction, potentially anaphylaxis. Anaphylaxis is a severe, systemic allergic reaction that requires immediate treatment with epinephrine. Epinephrine is the first-line treatment for anaphylaxis. It acts quickly to counteract the effects of the allergic reaction, such as vasodilation and bronchoconstriction. Administering epinephrine helps to: Constrict blood vessels: Reducing swelling and maintaining blood pressure. Relax bronchial muscles: Alleviating respiratory distress. Inhibit further release of allergic mediators: Stabilizing the reaction. B: Maintain a patent airway: While maintaining a patent airway is crucial, it is a supportive measure rather than the primary treatment for anaphylaxis. The immediate need is to address the underlying allergic reaction. C: Administer oral diphenhydramine: Diphenhydramine (an antihistamine) is not the appropriate first-line treatment for anaphylaxis. It can be used as an adjunct but is not effective in rapidly reversing the symptoms of severe allergic reactions. D: Prepare intubation equipment: Intubation might be necessary if the airway is compromised due to severe swelling or if the patient is unable to maintain their airway, but this is a secondary measure after administering epinephrine.

Thank you
welcome . Thanks for watching
