Answer to Question 1

ANS: 4
The nurse should ask relevant questions and collect relevant history and physical assessment data related to the client's presenting health care needs in order to produce the most inclusive, effec-tive nursing care plan. The questions How long have you been dealing with GERD? and Are you currently taking any medications for your GERD? as well as Do you follow a particular diet to help manage your GERD? are directed towards the GERD itself and not towards condi-tions that might be related to the presence of GERD.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 2
This option is an open-ended question that encourages the client to express his insight regarding his condition. This option is a closed-ended question requiring only a yes or no response and so provides minimal information regarding the client's condition. While this is an open-ended ques-tion, it is not the best option because it is not directed towards assessment of the client's current complaint. While this is an open-ended question, it is not the best option because it is directed at the client's comfort, not towards assessing his current complaint.
