Answer to Question 1

1
An anaphylactic reaction is a type 1 reaction. Type 2 reactions are cytotoxic and are seen with blood transfusions. Type 3 reactions are immune related and are associated with rheumatoid arthritis or systemic lupus erythematosus. Type 4 reactions are seen with transplant rejections.

Answer to Question 2

1
This is a diagnostic test that takes three steps: first, a digital examination; second, a sigmoidoscope; and third, a proctoscope. An NG tube is not needed for this examination.
