Question

During basic training at a large marine base, Anne was eating lunch with her platoon in the mess hall. Anne, who had just started her military training, knew she had a severe allergy to shellfish and had never eaten at this mess hall before. Because she was unsure of the food preparation, to be on the safe side, she chose a steak, potato, and broccoli. As she took her first few bites of the steak, she felt her tongue and lips become itchy and swollen. She started having difficulty speaking and breathing, and suddenly she felt weak and about to faint. She did not have her epinephrine auto-injector with her, so she quickly summoned the AT, who was eating with the platoon.

1. What is the most likely cause of Anne's anaphylactic reaction?

2. What are the first steps the AT should perform?

3. What follow-up is necessary?
