Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
The nurse should encourage the client to develop interests outside the career to spend his time. Selling the three houses or totally retiring at age 40 can have an adverse effect on the client's savings after retirement. Considering the client's age, and embarking on a new career, the client needs to explore career paths that may require less stamina and energy than the physical demands associated with being a fireman.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Breast development is a change that occurs in the body of an adolescent girl. Many changes take place in the body, such as the appearance of feminine contours, development of breast tissue, appearance of unique fatty deposits, and hair in the pubic and axillary areas. Menopausal clients often experience irritability and insomnia, hot flashes, and urinary incontinence.
