Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale: The client following CVA will recover and rehabilitate fastest if she provides as much self-care as possible. The UAP will need to bathe the unaffected side, but the client should be encouraged to bathe the affected side herself with their good arm. After discharge, the client usually will be transferred to a rehabilitation center.

Answer to Question 2

1,2,4
Rationale: Food allergies occur when the immune system reacts to the ingestion of certain food proteins or molecules; the reaction can be immediate or delayed.
