Your patient is a 24-year-old woman with asthma who is struggling to breathe and is very agitated. She has cyanosis of her lips and nail beds, and is cool and clammy to the touch. When you attempt to assist her ventilations with a bag-valve-mask device, she becomes combative and repeatedly pushes the mask away from her face. Which of the following is the BEST option?

A) Use a nasal cannula to administer supplemental oxygen.
B) Begin transport immediately and contact medical control for advice.
C) Wait for the patient's level of consciousness to decrease so that she can no longer resist your attempts to ventilate.
D) Have your partner restrain the patient's hands so you can ventilate her.
