I just completed practice test 2 and I am not so sure about one of the questions and answer (I am not sure if I am allowed to state the question number). The question is about a student that has a peanut allergy that reports nausea and is diaphoretic. No other signs or symptoms are provided in the question. I am not sure why the correct response would be to administer epinephrine and immediately call 911 if those are the only two symptoms. If I am answering the question solely based on the two symptoms of nausea and being diaphoretic and in the absence of more serious S/S such as dyspnea, chest or throat tightness, or facial swelling etc, then my first response would not be to administer epinephrine simply because the student has a known allergy to peanut.

Can anyone weigh in on this, please?

I think there are other more suitable options but I don't know if I can go into further details. I also find the question interesting because there was a similar question in the review book where a student with a history of strawberry allergies admits to eating a strawberry and complains of "throat and mouth itching" and one of the responses was to administer epinephrine however it wasn't the correct answer choice. I think further observation and assessment would be necessary before administering epinephrine. I would have to assume that the child ate peanuts and that is the reason they are nauseous and diaphoretic.

Would you consider nausea and diaphoresis to be an indication of decline or life threatening? Maybe epinephrine would be needed after further assessment? Maybe I'm reading too much into the question.

I got the question wrong because I think further assessment is necessary. Nausea is a presenting symptom of many health conditions. So is diaphoresis. I am responding to the question as it is written. I am trying not to assume anything that is not stated in the question. My thinking is that because the student has a known allergy to peanuts and is nauseous and diaphoretic that doesn't automatically mean anaphylaxis which is why further assessment would be necessary (in my mind). The question doesn't state that the student ate the peanut or even had contact. It just states that the student has a peanut allergy. Now if the question stated that the student presented with s/s such as rapid pulse, swelling, SOB, chest tightness, throat itching, etc, then sure. I just don't think nausea and diaphoresis are specific enough.
