Question 2

Mr. P is a 50-year-old client with a medical history of allergies to environmental allergens. His wife read that taking echinacea can help to prevent colds and has been giving it to him with his evening medications.
 
  He came to the clinic today because his allergy symptoms have been much worse in the past two weeks and wanted to see if there was additional medication that could help. The nurse informed him that clients taking echinacea to prevent colds and boost their immune system can have allergic reactions if they have allergies to: 1. Ragweed.
   2. Dust.
   3. Cat dander.
   4. Strawberries.

Answer to Question 1

C
When the entire colon and rectum have been removed, the patient would have an ileostomy. A colostomy is creation of an artificial anus on the abdominal wall. Removal of the colon and rec-tum causes fluid effluent, the opposite of constipation. Dumping syndrome is caused by a partial or total gastrectomy.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale: Clients with allergies to ragweed should be informed about a possible allergic reaction when taking echinacea to prevent colds and boost their immune system. Continued use should also be avoided in clients with autoimmune disease or clients taking immunosuppressant drugs, Dust, cat dander, and strawberries are common sources of allergens but do not cause cross-reactivity with echinacea.
