Answer to Question 1

D
Deficiency of vitamin B12 may cause damage to the brain, optic nerves, and peripheral nerves. Vitamin B12 deficiency is not associated with damage to the skin, eyes, or heart.

Answer to Question 2

1 Rationale: Hives, gastrointestinal symptoms, and itching indicate that the client has released histamine as a result of an immune response and has had an allergic reaction. Food intolerance is associated with abdominal bloating, constipation, diarrhea, and gas production. Food intolerances do not involve an immune system response.
