Answer to Question 1

2
Type 1 reactions are anaphylactic reactions. Type 2 is cytotoxic (e.g., transfusion reaction). Type 3 is immune complex. Type 4 is delayed hypersensitive.

Answer to Question 2

3
During the assessment, it is very important to discover what medications or over-the-counter drugs are being taken by the patient. Treatment and therapies may change because of this information. How the client was fed as an infant is not a part of this assessment. Asking if the client has knowledge of the food pyramid is not part of this assessment. If the client drinks coffee or tea with meals is not a part of this assessment.
