Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
A client with constipation can have other accompanying signs or symptoms including changes in stool characteristics such as oozing liquid stool or hard small stool. Urinary incontinence is not indicative of constipation. Severe headache is not a symptom associated with constipation. Dehydration is not associated with constipation but is a symptom of diarrhea.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
The Weber test helps to determine the equality or disparity of bone-conducted sound. The Rinne test compares the air versus bone conduction of sound and tests air conduction of sound in the tested ear. Audiometry measures hearing acuity at different sound frequencies.
