Answer to Question 1

2: A class in a non-English language.

Rationale:
Minorities in the United States will likely be the majority by the year 2042. By becoming proficient at other languages, the nurse will be better able to meet the needs of these future clients. The largest group of clients will be age 65 or older in the near future, so an extra class about an aging population would be more helpful than a class about children or young adults. The student might consider a class on the effects of finance and cost in the delivery of health care rather than personal finance.

Answer to Question 2

3. Body mass index (BMI) 35.8

Rationale:
Risk factors for the development of thrombus formation that could lead to a pulmonary embolism include obesity, orthopedic surgery, myocardial infarction, heart failure, and advancing age. The BMI of 35.8 falls into the category of obese, which would increase the client's risk of developing a thrombus and possible pulmonary embolism. The client's age, status as a former smoker, and blood pressure would not have as significant an impact on the development of a thrombus as the client's weight.
