Answer to Question 1

Answer: B

The nurse realizes the client may be experiencing heart failure and asks the client questions aimed at obtaining the client's lifestyle habits that can contribute to the heart failure, such as smoking and dietary habits. Gathering psychosocial information such as marriage and children is important, but in this case the nurse focuses on the client's current problem and teaching needs. Family history is also an important part of data gathering, but does not address the client's current lifestyle.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A

The chorion is the outermost embryonic membrane and develops into chorionic villi, which can be used for early genetic testing of the embryo at 8 to 11 weeks' gestation by chorionic villi sampling. The endometrium is the lining of the uterus and will not be used for genetic testing of the embryo. The ectoderm is a germ layer and will develop into specific structures within the developing fetus. The amnion will develop into amniotic fluid, which can also be sampled for genetic testing but may not be developed by 8 weeks' gestation.
