A client asks the nurse how the physician decides which allergens to test on the client during skin testing. The best response by the nurse would be:
 
  1. Most people are allergic to the same things, so the test is standard.
  2. Tests are configured differently for male and female clients.
  3. The allergens used are based on your history.
  4. Lab tests are drawn first to make the determination which allergens to use.

Question 2

The nurse is teaching a client experiencing allergic responses about the antihistamine that the physician has ordered for the client. The nurse concludes that further teaching is needed when the client states:
 
  1. I might experience dry mouth when taking this drug.
  2. I should only take one dose at a time.
  3. I should notify the physician if I have trouble urinating.
  4. I should limit my intake of alcohol to two glasses of wine daily.

Answer to Question 1

Answer: 3

1. There are common allergens, such as pollen, but people have their own substances that trigger the inflammatory response.
2. Tests are configured based on the client's history, not gender.
3. A history is obtained from the client about reactions to certain substances, and the tests are individualized for each client.
4. Lab tests will not reveal the substances that should be used when testing for allergies.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 4

1. Dry mouth is an expected side effect of antihistamines.
2. The client should only take one dose at a time, as extreme sedation could occur with more than one dose.
3. The client is taught to stop the medication and notify the physician if urinary retention results.
4. Alcohol will potentiate the sedative action of antihistamines and is to be avoided totally while the client is taking antihistamines.
