Suggested Answer: B 🗳️
Airway edema and bronchial constriction/ edema (reactive airway) should be the first concern for the EMT to attend. With out an airway the patient will die, with out the ability to ventilate the patient then the patient will become hypoxic which may cause brain damage and death.
