Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Review the family and social/environmental history. This part of the medical history focuses on potential genetic or occupational links to disease and the patient's current life situation. Pulmo-nary disorders such as asthma, lung cancer, cystic fibrosis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease are believed to have a genetic link in many cases.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Coughing up blood or blood-streaked sputum from the lungs is referred to as hemoptysis.
