Answer to Question 1

3
Risk factors for latex allergy include a history of allergies, for example, food allergies or contact dermatitis (eczema). Appendicitis and bronchitis do not increase the client's risk of a latex allergy. The client's not wearing wool clothing does not increase the client's risk of a latex allergy.

Answer to Question 2

3
The first priority is to maintain adequate oxygenation. The next diagnoses in priority would be risk for ineffective respiratory function. Activity intolerance would be the third diagnosis. Anxiety would be the last diagnosis in order of priority.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
