Question 1

MATCHING
Match the following terms related to food sensitivities to the accurate descriptions.

-A food elicits a reproducible adverse reaction but does not have an established immunologic mechanism
A)Food allergy
B)Food allergen
C)Food intolerance
D)Sensitization
E)Atopy

Accepted Answer

Food intolerance is a reproducible adverse reaction to a food without an established immunologic mechanism.

Answer: B 
 A food allergen is a protein or peptide that can cause an allergic reaction.

Answer: A 
 A food allergy is a reproducible adverse reaction to a food that involves an immunologic mechanism.

Answer: D 
 Sensitization is the process by which the immune system becomes hypersensitive to an allergen.

Answer: E 
 Atopy is a genetic predisposition to develop allergic reactions.

Question 2

A health care provider prescribes vitamin D supplements, 300 IU orally, daily. The medication label states: "Vitamin D 1000 IU/10 ml." The nurse prepares to administer one dose. How many milliliters will the nurse prepare to administer one dose? Fill in the blank. Record your answer in a whole number.

Question 3

The nurse is teaching parents strategies to manage their child's refusal to go to sleep. Which should the nurse include in the teaching session? (Select all that apply.)
A) Keep bedtime early.
B) Enforce consistent limits.
C) Use a reward system with the child.
D) Have a consistent before bedtime routine.

Accepted Answer

Strategies to manage a child's refusal to go to sleep include enforcement of consistent limits, using a reward system, and having a consistent before bedtime routine. An evaluation of whether the hour of sleep is too early should be considered because an early bedtime could cause the child to resist sleep if not tired.

Question 4

MATCHING
Match the following terms related to food sensitivities to the accurate descriptions.

-Allergy with a hereditary tendency
A)Food allergy
B)Food allergen
C)Food intolerance
D)Sensitization
E)Atopy

Accepted Answer

Atopy refers to the genetic tendency to develop allergic diseases such as allergic rhinitis, asthma, and atopic dermatitis (eczema). It is often associated with heightened immune responses to common allergens, especially inhaled allergens and food allergens.

Question 5

MATCHING
Match the following terms related to food sensitivities to the accurate descriptions.

-Specific components of food or ingredients in food that are recognized by allergen-specific immune cells eliciting an immune reaction
A)Food allergy
B)Food allergen
C)Food intolerance
D)Sensitization
E)Atopy

Accepted Answer

Food allergen refers to the specific components of food or ingredients in food that are recognized by allergen-specific immune cells eliciting an immune reaction.

Answer: A
 Food allergy is an adverse immune reaction to a food allergen.

Answer: C
 Food intolerance refers to non-immunological adverse reactions to food, which can occur due to a variety of reasons including deficiencies in digestive enzymes, pharmacological effects of food components, and psychological factors.

Answer: D
 Sensitization is the process in which the immune system develops an immune response to a food allergen upon initial exposure.

Answer: E
 Atopy refers to a genetic predisposition to develop immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated allergic responses to environmental allergens such as pollen, dust mites, and certain foods.

Question 6

A health care provider prescribes iron supplements (Fer-In-Sol), 1 mg/kg/day orally (PO). The infant weighs 5 kg. The medication label states: "Fer-In-Sol 25 mg/1 ml." The nurse prepares to administer one dose. How many milliliters will the nurse prepare to administer one dose? Fill in the blank. Record your answer to one decimal place.

Question 7

What are risk factors for sudden infant death syndrome? (Select all that apply.)
A) Postterm
B) Female gender
C) Low Apgar scores
D) Recent viral illness
E) Native American infants

Accepted Answer

Infant risk factors for sudden infant death syndrome include those with low Apgar scores and recent viral illness and Native American infants. Preterm, not postterm, birth and male, not female, gender are other risk factors.

Question 8

MATCHING
Match the following terms related to food sensitivities to the accurate descriptions.

-Initial exposure to an allergen resulting in an immune response; subsequent exposure induces a much stronger response
A)Food allergy
B)Food allergen
C)Food intolerance
D)Sensitization
E)Atopy

Accepted Answer

Sensitization is the initial exposure to an allergen resulting in an immune response; subsequent exposure induces a much stronger response.

Answer: A
 Food allergy is an adverse reaction to a food protein that involves the immune system.

Answer: B
 Food allergen is a protein in food that triggers an allergic reaction.

Answer: C
 Food intolerance is a non-immune reaction to a food that does not involve the production of antibodies.

Answer: E
 Atopy is a genetic predisposition to developing certain allergic hypersensitivity reactions, such as asthma and allergic rhinitis.

Question 9

MATCHING
Match the following terms related to food sensitivities to the accurate descriptions.

-An adverse health effect arising from a specific immune response that occurs reproducibly on exposure to a given food
A)Food allergy
B)Food allergen
C)Food intolerance
D)Sensitization
E)Atopy

Accepted Answer

Food allergy refers to an adverse health effect arising from a specific immune response that occurs reproducibly on exposure to a given food.

Answer: B
 Food allergen refers to the specific protein in a food that triggers an allergic reaction.

Answer: C
 Food intolerance refers to an adverse reaction to food that does not involve the immune system. It may be caused by various factors, such as enzyme deficiencies or sensitivity to food additives.

Answer: D
 Sensitization refers to the process by which the immune system becomes sensitive to a specific food allergen.

Answer: E
 Atopy refers to a genetic predisposition to allergic reactions, such as asthma, hay fever, or eczema. It may increase the risk of developing food allergies.

Question 10

A health care provider prescribes adrenaline (epinephrine), intramuscularly (IM) 0.15 mg, times one, stat. The medication label states: "Epinephrine 1:1000 1 mg/1 ml." The nurse prepares to administer the stat dose. How many milliliters will the nurse prepare to administer one dose? Fill in the blank. Record your answer using two decimal places.
