Question

An 10-year-old child is brought to the emergency department by his mother for difficulty breathing. He has a history of asthma and nut allergies. His mother tells you that he recently ate a cookie at school. Which condition is most likely to be present in this child?

Answer 1

Answer:

the child's nut allergies

Explanation:

although asthma is a condition that does affect breathing, since the child had recently eaten a cookie at school, it's more likely that he's in the emergency department because of that cookie. that cookie could've had nuts in it, which triggered the child's nut allergies.
