Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale: Telling the patient that the nurse understands the patient's feelings does not help the patient understand the importance of health promotion activities.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale: The cross-link theory is related to the accumulation of cross-linked proteins causing disease. This theory does not explain the damage done to the patient's joint from playing football.
