Answer to Question 1

3
IgE antibody attaches to a mast cell that subsequently releases histamine. This reaction produces allergic symptoms exhibited by clients. IgA protects against infections of the mucous membranes. IgD is found on the surface of B cells. IgG is the main immunoglobulin that is produced in response to an infection.

Answer to Question 2

3
The nurse should instruct the client to refrigerate the solution and drink 8 ounces of the solution every 10 minutes until totally consumed. The solution should not be sipped throughout the day or only taken until bowel movements begin.
