Answer to Question 1

B
The young adult client may benefit from a personal lifestyle assessment to help identify lifestyle habits such as poor food choices, smoking, stress, substance abuse, and inactivity as factors that increase the risk of illness.
Assessing a client's marital status does not offer much information about the client's health or risk for future illnesses.
Assessing a client's experience with chronic disease is less appropriate for this age group.
Assessing the client's history of childhood accidents does not offer much information about the client's current health or risk for future illnesses.

Answer to Question 2

A
When palpating the abdomen, the nurse should leave painful areas for the end of the examina-tion.
The client lies supine with arms at his or her side and knees slightly bent.
The TV or radio should be turned off so as not to distract the client throughout the examination, and to provide an environment conducive to auscultation.
Both sides of the body should be assessed for comparison to determine symmetry.
