Answer to Question 1

Airborne allergens include pollens (e.g., grass, plants, and trees), mold (i.e., fungal spores), dust mites, animal dander, and house dust. Eggs and milk are ingested allergens. Insect stings are injected allergens.

An impairment in a client's gastrointestinal system functioning could affect the absorption of food, the digestion of food, and the metabolism of food. An impairment in this system will not affect the utilization of oxygen, synthesis of red blood cells, or the filtering of water.
