Answer to Question 1

Answer: A, B, C, E
The physical component is the ability to carry out daily tasks, achieve fitness, and generally practice positive lifestyle habits. The environmental component includes influences such as food, water, and air. The emotional component is the ability to manage stress and to express emotions appropriately. Finances are not one of the seven components of health. The spiritual component is the belief in some force (nature, science, religion, or a higher power) that serves to unite human beings and provide meaning and purpose to life.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B

Blunt percussion in a frail older individual is contraindicated. Instead, palpation of the costovertebral angles and flanks can be used to reveal any pain or tenderness. All other assessments are appropriate.
