Question

Marilyn Jost, age 15, is highly allergic to penicillin and bee stings. The last time she experienced a reaction to a bee sting on her leg, the entire limb became swollen. Marilyn is active in the teen church group and frequently goes on camping trips. Her provider has suggested that she wear an identification bracelet stating her allergies and that she carry an emergency kit when she is on a camping trip. Her mother sees no need for these precautions because Marilyn is a perfectly healthy girl. Marilyn says she would not know what to do with the kit if she did get stung by a bee or wasp.

1. How would you explain to Marilyn and her mother the need for the identification bracelet and the kit?

2. How would you go about teaching Marilyn to use the emergency kit?
