What is the recommended first-aid for someone in anaphylactic shock?

Call 911 only
MONA
Ice pack and rest
AEIOU

The correct answer is: AEIOU

Option A is incorrect because while calling 911 is an important step, it is not the recommended first-aid for anaphylactic shock as it does not address the immediate symptoms of the condition. Option B is incorrect because MONA (morphine, oxygen, nitroglycerin, and aspirin) is a protocol used for heart attacks and is not appropriate for treating anaphylactic shock. Option C is incorrect because while resting and applying an ice pack may help alleviate some symptoms, it does not address the potentially life-threatening nature of anaphylactic shock. The recommended first-aid for someone in anaphylactic shock is option D, AEIOU which stands for airway, epinephrine, intravenous fluids, oxygen, and antihistamines. This protocol focuses on immediately addressing the respiratory distress, blood pressure drops, and swelling of the airways that occur during anaphylaxis.
