Answer to Question 1

B
Mucoid sputum is associated with asthma. Yellow or green sputum is associated with a bacterial infection. Rust- or blood-tinged sputum is associated with pneumonia. Pink sputum is associated with pulmonary edema.

Answer to Question 2

3. Are you having any low back pain?

Rationale:
A client with osteoporosis will often present with low back pain as well as a decrease in height. Palpitations, constipation, and, swelling are not early signs of osteoporosis.
