Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Previous exposure with no incident does not mean an individual cannot develop a hypersensitivity to a food or other substance. An allergy may develop at any time. The remaining statements are correct.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Avascular necrosis (lack of blood supply to a joint, resulting in tissue damage) may occur as an adverse effect of long-term or high-dose corticosteroid use. Teach families to report new onset of joint pain, particularly with weight bearing, or limited range of motion. Complications of systemic lupus erythematosus include nephritis manifested by urinary changes and visual changes. Rash may develop secondary to photosensitivity. These are unrelated to the long-term or high-dose corticosteroid use.
