Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3
Although all the options are relevant to the issue of eye safety, the initial follow-up should relate to the client's habit of actually wearing the safety device.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 3
During the history, it is useful to assess the client's self-rating for a sensory deficit. You can simply say, Rate your hearing as excellent, good, fair, poor, or bad. Then, based on the client's self-rating, explore the client's perception of a sensory loss more fully. The remaining options are either closed-ended questions (which do not encourage communication) or an assumption of hearing loss.
