[Answered]: A 45-year-old patient is undergoing a breast biopsy

A 45-year-old patient is undergoing a breast biopsy. The surgeon has just injected the incision site with 1 percent xylocaine. After a few minutes, the patient reports feeling an overall itching sensation, and the anesthesia provider notes that the patient has broken out into hives. Seconds later, they are having trouble breathing and have become slightly hypotensive and tachycardic. Based on these signs and symptoms, what is the patient experiencing? What is the surgical team’s first priority? What medication will be given first, and what are the actions of that medication? What medication is given to slow the chain of events that caused the reaction to occur?
