Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale 1: Normal flora are harmless.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: Asking the client what brings him to the hospital is an open-ended question, and begins the process of learning more about the client's current health status. The body of the interview is the time when the client can communicate his thoughts and perceptions in response to the nurse's questions. The other questions are closed-ended and require one-word answers, which would not allow the client to discuss feelings.
