The nurse is talking with Ms. Artson, a 47-year-old woman who has recently had an anaphylaxis episode triggered by strawberries, about how to prevent future problems. What should the nurse tell Ms. Artson about how to prevent a future anaphylaxis episode? (Select all that apply.)

Choice A reason: Avoiding known allergens is the most effective way to prevent anaphylaxis. In Ms. Artson’s case, strawberries should be strictly avoided in all forms, including processed foods and flavorings. Choice B reason: Wearing a medical alert bracelet ensures that emergency responders and healthcare providers are immediately aware of her allergy, which is critical in case she becomes unconscious or unable to communicate during an episode. Choice C reason: Frequent exposure to allergens is dangerous and not recommended outside of a controlled clinical setting. Desensitization protocols, such as immunotherapy, are only appropriate under specialist supervision and not for food allergies like strawberries. Choice D reason: Informing all healthcare providers about known allergies helps prevent accidental exposure during procedures, medication administration, or dietary planning. Choice E reason: Carrying an epinephrine injector at all times is essential for immediate treatment of anaphylaxis. Prompt administration can be life-saving and should be part of her emergency preparedness.
