Answer to Question 1

Answer: C

A potassium level of 3.4 is low, so the client should be encouraged to consume potassium-rich foods. Of the foods listed, the highest in potassium is banana.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B

The social component of wellness focuses on the ability to interact successfully with people and within the environment of which each person is a part, to develop and maintain intimacy with significant others, and to develop respect and tolerance for those with differing opinions and beliefs. The physical component of wellness is the ability to carry out daily tasks, achieve fitness of all body systems, and practice positive lifestyle habits. The emotional component deals with the ability to manage stress and express emotions appropriately. The environmental component focuses on the health measures that improve the standard of living and quality of life in the community.
