This is NOT a hw question. It is an actual thing that happened:
I might should have put it in school nurses, but this could happen anywhere I guess. A person (not a child) is having a severe allergic reaction to something they did not know they were allergic to-having trouble breathing, etc. Person does not have an epipen but a parent who has a child with a severe allergy has one one their person. 911 has been called. Nurse has to decide whether to give someone else's epi to person.
Would the nurse lose his/her license for giving the epi? Do you let the non-nurse bystander give it? Wait for 911 and hope the person lives?
I think this episode has prompted the schools to have epi on hand in case of a new onset anaphalaxis, but I thought this was interesting case.
I have to carry glucagon for my T1 son. I don't know what would happen if I gave it to someone unresponsive d/t hypoglycemia.
