Answer to Question 1

Answer: A

Type I hypersensitivities, such as anaphylactic reactions, occur immediately and may be life-threatening. Because the client has a history of this type of reaction, Risk for Shock is an appropriate nursing diagnosis. The other items would not necessitate the need for this nursing diagnosis.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C

The concern for this client is the repeated infections that could be a chronic form of conjunctivitis that causes eventual blindness. Having the infection for 3 days is concerning but not as much as the potentially chronic form of the disease. Many adults catch pink eye from a child, but that is not usually the form that causes blindness. The client's mother has blindness from a source other than conjunctivitis.
