Answer:

The answer is 3: "I should always carry my Epi-pen in case i have difficulty breathing."

Explanation:

Anaphylactic reactions can be so severe that they can compromise the patient's life. Latex is not only found in surgical gloves but also in gloves for home or industrial use as well as other everyday items. In addition, people who are allergic to latex can also cross allergies with some foods. If this patient has already made an allergy, it is most likely that on an upcoming occasion, the allergic reaction will be stronger, so it is necessary for the patient to carry their Epi-pen ampoules with them.
