Answer to Question 1

ANS: 4
The remaining options are not as directed towards activity intolerance since a positive response to any of them may be a result of causes other than weakness.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 3
Motivation is a key factor in the importance of hygiene. Wanting to be acceptably bathed and dressed for the visit is the most likely motivation.
