The correct option is B.
Having short breath and sharp pains in the chest are indications of cardiac distress and it indicate that the heart is been exerted upon. The first thing the nurse should do is to ask the patient to sit down in order to reduce the exertion force on the heart. Resting will allow the patient to become stabilized, the nurse can then check the patient's need for oxygen application.

SVETLANKA909090 [29]
This would directly affect the epidermis because blisters will develop within the surface of the skin. Having blisters on the epidermis will decrease the function of the skin to be an effective barrier to disease. This is because blisters are open wounds that are prone to infection. As infection passes through these openings, it will affect the dermis and the other layers of the skin. Bullae is actually an auto-immune skin disease.
