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.

Did you know?

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
