Answer to Question 1

1. Weight
2. Occupation
4. Smoking history

Rationale:
The nurse should assess the client for risk factors associated with back pain, which include being overweight, sedentary or industrial employment, and smoking. Assessing the client's diet may or may not be applicable; this would depend upon the client's weight. The number of children is not an identified risk factor for back pain.

Answer to Question 2

A
Chronobiology is a relatively new branch of science that studies rhythms that are controlled by the biological clock.
