Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Vital signs are part of the physical examination portion of patient assessment, not part of the health history.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
To obtain adequate history, providers must be well organized, attentive to the patient's verbal and nonverbal language, and able to accurately interpret the patient's responses to questions. Rather than reading into the patient's statements, they clarify any areas of uncertainty.
