Answer to Question 1

A
Cognitive function and learning styles vary, so knowing the patient's preferred learning style fa-cilitates education. Some individuals prefer to learn by visual methods, others by listening, and still others by experiencing contact in a hands-on approach. Controlling pain and ensuring the patient is comfortable will also facilitate learning, but it is more important to meet the patient's preferred learning style. The other options are helpful but not as vital.

Answer to Question 2

C
Because of the role of estrogen in the excretion of uric acid, elevated levels are usually not seen before menopause in women. The other statements are incorrect.
