What should be done for a patient with a food allergy?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Avoid the allergenic food
The identified allergenic food should be excluded from the patient’s diet to prevent symptoms and possible serious reactions. The patient still needs a nutritionally adequate replacement, so all food should not be stopped. Food labels, cross-contact during preparation, and professional advice may be important, especially when the allergy is severe.
