Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1

The components of a health history are biographic data, chief complaint, history of present illness, past history, family history, lifestyle, social data, psychological data, and patterns of health care. After gathering this history, the nurse is able to determine what health promotion teaching is required by the client, but it is not part of the health history.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2

A lung that is air-filled would normally return a resonant sound, so the dull sound would lead the nurse to suspect a collapsed lung or pneumothorax. Emphysema and hyperinflation would produce a resonant sound. Pneumonia might return a dull sound over the fluid-filled area, but the remainder of the lung would be resonant.
