Answer to Question 1

A

Feedback
A The presence of risk factors does not mean that a disease will develop, but risk factors increase the chances that the individual will experience a particular disease or dysfunction.
B While the statement, Now that you know the possibility is there, you can take steps to prevent it is not incorrect, it does not address the impact of the risk factor on the client's health.
C It is not always true that a risk factor can be managed by making lifestyle changes, and therefore this is not the best available option.
D The strategy of telling the client that he or she is lucky and has the benefit of being able to do something about a risk factor minimizes the client's concern, and does not address the impact of the risk factor on the client's health.

Answer to Question 2

A

Feedback
A Normal oral mucosa in a light-skinned adult are glistening, pinkish-red, soft, moist, and smooth.
