Answer to Question 1

Answer: C

The data in this scenario reveal very little time for sleep; therefore, the history should focus on sleep patterns, not diet. Asking if the client thinks the number of activities or homework should be reduced does not directly address the number of hours of sleep the client is getting.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B, C, E

Following a prostatectomy, the client is most at risk for pain, sexual dysfunction, and urinary stress incontinence. There is no reason to suspect that this client is at risk for constipation or falls.
