Answer to Question 1

Answer: D

The client is exhibiting signs and symptoms of conjunctivitis. The nurse should explore ways in which the client may have been exposed. Most cases of conjunctivitis are spread by hand to eye contact. Exposure to HIV, sand in the eye, and caffeine are not known causes of conjunctivitis and would not be appropriate questions to ask this client to determine the cause of the symptoms.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: D

Clinical manifestations associated with a type I hypersensitivity reaction include hypotension, wheezing, gastrointestinal or uterine spasm, stridor, and urticaria. Erythema and fever are associated with type IV hypersensitivity reactions. Fever and joint pain are associated with a type III hypersensitivity reactions.
