Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Bones are classified according to shape and composition. Long bones include the femur and humerus; short bones include the carpals and tarsals; flat bones include the parietal skull bone and sternum; and irregular bones include the vertebrae and hips.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
The nurse should ask questions in a manner to place the client at ease. The questions should ideally be gender neutral. It is more important to find out about the sexual activity than the birth control initially. Asking specifically about boys may limit the client's response. Clients may feel they do not need birth control Asking about the attraction to the opposite sex may appear judgmental to the client.
