You have administered one dose of epinephrine to a 40-year-old female to treat an allergic reaction that she developed after being stung by a scorpion. Your reassessment reveals that she is still having difficulty breathing, has a decreasing mental status, and has a blood pressure of 80/50 mm Hg. You should:

Request permission from medical control to give another dose of epinephrine.

Explanation:

The dose of epinephrine helps in controlling the allergic reaction which has been caused due to the bite of scorpion. One dose of epinephrine is not enough as the patient is still feeling difficulty in breathing.

The mental status of the female is also not fine and the blood pressure is also low 80/50 mm Hg. This injection is used as a emergency medical treatment given to treat life threatening allergic reactions caused by the insect bite.

It is a class of alpha-beta adrenergic agonists  which works by relaxing the muscles and tightening the blood vessels which increases the blood pressure.
