Answer to Question 1

1
When a person is allergic to a particular food, itching of the mouth may occur as they eat the food. The nurse should ask the client if she has ever been diagnosed with a food allergy. The client may or may not need an oral steroid. The client's vital signs will most likely not be affected so soon. No tongue or throat changes occur with a food allergy.

Answer to Question 2

2
Hydrochloric acid in the stomach triggers pepsinogen, which generates pepsin. Pepsin begins the digestion of proteins in the food and allows for the absorption of vitamin B-12. This is the vitamin supplement that the client will most likely need. Vitamins A, C, and D are not affected by a lack of hydrochloric acid in the stomach.
