SAD= schizoaffective disorder, which is schizophrenia combined with depression or bipolar disorder (BP). ...and yes, I've been in non-EMS situations where those were used in that maner. Similarly, "PCR" has multiple uses.

Good example, I was trying to figure out something related to blood pressure

Nitro is used for ACS "chest pain". Not for hypertension. Can only be used at the BLS level if it is the patients own nitro (it won't be carried on a BLS rig).

For allergic reactions the patient will be tachycardic.

The part about the NITRO is not necessarily true. Where I am from we carry nitro in our stat box and we can administer with permission from med control

Why the ?! An epinephrine drip is considered equivalent to pacing for brady rhythms in adults and epinephrine is used for brady rhythms in pediatric patients, not atropine in peds.

The OP was speaking from a basic's perspective in Massachusetts. Hopefully he is not giving an EpiPen for a patient who is only bradycardic, that would be wrong.
