Answer to Question 1

1
Foods such as eggs, milk, nuts, shellfish, and soy wheat are common food allergens; carrots are not.

Answer to Question 2

4
The number of bowel movements a client has is very individual, but if a client has fewer than three bowel movements per week or must vigorously strain when passing stool, the client is considered to have constipation. The other choices do not fit the criteria for the diagnosis of constipation.
