Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
While assessing the client's past medical history, it is appropriate to assess information regarding childhood illnesses. Name and marital status is collected when assessing biographical information. The reason for seeking care is assessed in present health or illness.

The nurse would palpate the left brachial artery to assess the client's brachial pulse. The carotid artery, radial artery, and femoral artery are not used to assess the client's brachial pulse.
