Question 2

Match the following terms related to food sensitivities to the accurate descriptions.
-Allergy with a hereditary tendency

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 3

Question 4

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

Accepted Answer

Sensitization refers to the initial exposure to an allergen, resulting in an immune response.

Answer: A
 Food allergy refers to an immune response to a specific food allergen that can cause severe symptoms, including anaphylaxis, upon subsequent exposure.

Answer: B
 Food allergen refers to a specific protein or compound within a food that triggers an immune response in people with food allergies.

Answer: C
 Food intolerance refers to a non-immune response to a specific food or ingredient that can cause digestive discomfort, such as bloating, gas, or diarrhea.

Answer: E
 Atopy refers to a genetic tendency to develop allergic diseases, such as eczema, asthma, and hay fever. It is not specifically related to food sensitivities but can increase the risk of developing food allergies.

Question 5

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

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 6

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

Accepted Answer

This term describes a specific immune response to a food that results in an adverse health effect.

Answer: B
 This term refers to a specific protein in a food that triggers an allergic reaction in individuals with food allergies.

Answer: C
 This term describes a non-immune adverse reaction to a food, such as lactose intolerance or sensitivity to food additives.

Answer: D
 This term describes the process by which an individual's immune system becomes sensitized to a food allergen, leading to an allergic reaction upon subsequent exposure.

Answer: E
 This term refers to a genetic predisposition toward the development of allergic conditions, including food allergies.

Question 7

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?

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 8

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

Accepted Answer

Food allergens are specific components of food or ingredients that are recognized by allergen-specific immune cells, leading to an immune reaction.

Question 9
