Answer to Question 1

2, 3, 4, 5
Use of certain medications can interfere with the validity of a skin-prick response. These medications include antihistamines, benzodiazepines, theophylline, and antidepressants. Corticosteroids and aspirin have no effect on the skin-prick test.

Answer to Question 2

1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Excessive belching can be resolved by instructing the client to eat slowly, do not drink with a straw, avoid carbonated beverages, do not smoke, and do not chew gum. Not eating onions might help with flatus.
