Answer to Question 1

2
Anaphylactic shock is a medical emergency, and treatment is needed immediately. The nurse should expect to give epinephrine to promote bronchodilation and vasoconstriction. The other choices can be done after the client's airway and ventilation are stabilized.

Answer to Question 2

3
Candida typically produces a thick, white discharge. Bacterial vaginosis causes a white or gray, thin, watery discharge and an odor. Trichomoniasis has a frothy, green/yellow/white discharge.
