Answer to Question 1

4
Frequent wiping of the nose with the palm of the hand is one symptom seen in the client diagnosed with severe allergic rhinitis. Edematous neck glands, reduced hearing, and pruritis are not manifestations of severe allergic rhinitis.

Answer to Question 2

1, 3, 4, 6
Interventions to assist a client with swallowing and prevent aspiration include have the client tuck the chin with each swallow, turn the head to the weak side to swallow, hold the breath while swallowing, and sitting in an upright position to swallow. The client should not be instructed to turn the head toward the strong side to swallow or to eat in a reclining position.
