You are on the scene of a motor vehicle collision in which a car has driven off the roadway and is resting at the bottom of an embankment. the driver is in severe respiratory distress and is unable to speak. his skin is flushed and he has hives. a medic-alert bracelet indicates an allergy to peanuts. you notice a candy bar wrapper on the floor of the car. which of the following should you do first?
a) perform rapid extrication.
b) administer high-concentration oxygen.
c) read the candy wrapper to see if it contains peanuts.
d) search the patient for an epinephrine auto-injector.

Administer high-concentration oxygen.

Respiratory distress may be defined as the medical condition when the fluid gets filled in the airsacs of the lungs. Respiratory distress indicates the medical emergency and shows life threatening situation.

The individual indicates the sign of respiratory distress and peanut allergy. The respiratory distress decreases the amount of oxygen in the organs and the allergy condition increases this reaction. The high concentration oxygen must be provided to the individual and oxygen deficiency can be overcome.
