Answer to Question 1

A, B, C, D
A person's occupation is a significant component of his lifestyle, so this would be an important question to ask. Marital status plays an important role in lifestyle, so this is an appropriate question to ask. Hobbies should be assessed to determine specific lifestyle risks for this patient. Even married people should be asked about sexual activity, because sexual activity can have a significant impact on health and risk for health problems. A question about a recent move would not be a question asked regarding lifestyle, but might be a question asked when assessing stress levels. Questions about the type of dwelling might also indicate activity levels.

Answer to Question 2

B, C, D
Control, commitment, and challenge are associated with a strong resistance to negative feelings that occur under adverse circumstances. Contemplation is the first stage of the Transtheoretical Model of Change, not a characteristic of hardiness.
