Answer to Question 1

A, B, C, D
There are many aspects to pulmonary rehabilitation, including socialization, decreased cardiac risks, nutrition counseling, and weight management Sports are not included, although exercise is.

Answer to Question 2

C
All assessments are appropriate; however, the concern in this older patient is dehydration, so as-sessment of cardiovascular status comes first. Urine output reflects cardiac output but it does not reflect as up-to-date information as do vital signs. Respiratory system and skin integrity are lower priorities for this patient.
