Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
A nonmodifiable risk factor is one the patient has no control over. The patient can manage her allergies but cannot control her immune-mediated responses. Smoking, stress, and asbestos exposure are all modifiable risk factors.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
A nursing care plan for preventative health measures should be reasonable and feasible. Keeping up to date on vaccinations is important because vaccine reduces the severity of illnesses and serious complications. Although it is important to finish the full course of antibiotics, it is not a preventative health measure. Scheduling annual tuberculosis skin tests does not address prevention. The exercise routine should be reasonable to increase compliance.
