Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, C, D, F
The questions listed are appropriate questions for an assessment of a patient's health beliefs and practices. The questions regarding family history and surgeries are part of the patient's physical history, not the patient's health beliefs.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Cultural taboos are practices that are to be avoided, such as receiving blood products, eating pork, and consuming caffeine. The other answers do not reflect cultural taboos.
