Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
In African American clients, the sclera is the best place to assess the yellowish discoloration of jaundice. Jaundice assessment cannot be done on the nailbeds, lips, or palm due to hyperpigmentation.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
In kyphosis, the shoulder and upper back tend to curve forward. In lordosis, the lumbar region curves inward and the sacral region curves outward. Scoliosis is a curvature of a portion of the spine to the side, laterally.
