What can cause acute pain, incontinence, dyspnea, reddened skin area, and hypotension in a patient?
What diagnosis would this patient most likely receive?
I was given this question in nursing school, and did not recieve any further details.
Anaphylaxis does involve all of these symptoms, so I think that sounds like a good answer. Thanks.
It’s really too difficult to even begin to diagnose a patient with all these symptoms without first delving further into the patients background and history.
It’s best that the patient spoke to a doctor to clearly assess and explain what it could be.

snake bite.
Anaphylaxsis would not include incontinence, or necessarily acute pain.
