Answer to Question 1

B
The most common food allergens in children are peanuts, milk, eggs, and wheat. Seafood aller-gies are common in older children and adults. Allergies to barley, oats, tree nuts, strawberries, and oranges occur less commonly.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale: A BP of 125/83 would be considered within normal range. A fasting glucose of 240 requires close monitoring and possible testing to determine if the patient has diabetes, since a diagnosis should not be made on a one-time variation in lab results. Obesity should be determined based on the client's height, weight, and BMI rather than weight alone. If Mr. G has a history of poorly controlled fasting blood sugar (> 100 mg /dl), an abdominal circumference of > 35 inches, and triglycerides > 150 mg/dl he would meet the diagnostic criteria for metabolic syndrome.

Chronic necrotizing aspergillosis has a slowly progressive process that, unlike invasive aspergillosis, does not spread to other organ systems or the blood vessels. It most often affects middle-aged and elderly individuals, spreading to surrounding tissue in the lungs. The disease often does not respond to conventionally successful treatments, and requires individualized therapies in order to keep it from becoming life-threatening.
