Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1

A high-protein, high-kilocalorie diet provides the necessary nutrients to meet metabolic and tissue healing needs. The meal with the most calories is the spaghetti and meat sauce, vanilla milkshake made with Ensure, and pecan pie. The other meals have fewer calories.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1

Radioallergosorbent test is a blood test that measures the amount of IgE directed toward specific allergens. Test results are compared with control values and used to identify hypersensitivities. This test may also be used instead of skin testing if a severe allergic response is suspected. White blood cell count and differential, blood type and crossmatch, and immune complex assay tests are not used instead of skin testing if a severe allergic response is suspected.
