Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Allergens can enter the body via inhalation, ingestion, injection, and direct contact. Poison ivy is a direct contact allergen, pollen is an inhalation allergen, medications are ingestion allergens, and insect stings occur by injection.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
The nurse should assist the client in putting on a hospital gown and lying in bed. The hospital gown facilitates physical examination and various treatments and prevents soiling of the client's clothes. The nurse should not allow the client to lie down in street clothes, prepare the client for a bed bath, or cover the client with a bath blanket.
