Answer:

Administer high-concentration oxygen.

Explanation:

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.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).

Goshia [24]

The Needlestick Safety and Prevention Act (the Act) (Pub. L. 106-430) was signed into law on November 6, 2000. Because occupational exposure to bloodborne pathogens from accidental sharps injuries in healthcare and other occupational settings continues to be a serious problem, Congress felt that a modification to OSHA's Bloodborne Pathogens Standard was appropriate (29 CFR 1910.1030) to set forth in greater detail (and make more specific) OSHA's requirement for employers to identify, evaluate, and implement safer medical devices. The Act also mandated additional requirements for maintaining a sharps injury log and for the involvement of non-managerial healthcare workers in evaluating and choosing devices.
