Answer to Question 1

1,3,5
Rationale: When clients have no opportunity to talk about their pain and associated fears, their perceptions and reactions to the pain can be intensified.

Answer to Question 2

It is not necessary to take the full set of vital signs unless the physician has ordered it or it is time for the vital signs according to policy.
