Answer to Question 1

2, 3, 4, 5
Rationale: Clients who have been diagnosed with metabolic syndrome must meet three or more of the following criteria: blood pressure above or equal to 135/85, triglycerides greater than or equal to 150 mg/dL, HDL cholesterol greater than or equal to 40 mg/dL (in men), waist circumference greater than or equal to 40 inches (men), and a fasting serum glucose level greater than or equal to 100 mg/dL.

Answer to Question 2

B
The most serious, potentially life-threatening reaction to a food allergen is anaphylaxis, in which the airway becomes swollen and blocked, causing unconsciousness. Dermatitis, syncope, and gastrointestinal bleeding may be problematic, but are not life threatening.
