A nurse is reinforcing teaching with the guardian of a school-age child who has a severe peanut allergy.Which of the following information should the nurse include?

Choice A rationaleCarrying an epinephrine auto-injector is critical for immediate intervention during anaphylactic reactions. It delivers epinephrine, a beta-agonist that dilates airways and constricts blood vessels, countering life-threatening symptoms.Choice B rationaleAvoiding all types of nuts prevents cross-contamination or accidental exposure, as cross-reactivity can occur among various nuts due to shared allergenic proteins.Choice C rationaleWhile some allergies might worsen with repeated exposure, peanut allergies do not uniformly become more severe over time, and this statement lacks scientific generalizability.Choice D rationaleWhile some children outgrow allergies such as cow’s milk or egg allergies, peanut allergies are often lifelong, with studies indicating a low likelihood of resolution in adolescence.
