Answer to Question 1

ANS: 2
Recording baseline fitness scores such as pulse rate, how long it takes to walk 1 mile, waist cir-cumference, and body mass index are indicators of readiness. The remaining options do not show the most definite level of readiness as does actually walking.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 2
Questions such as Describe for me your typical daily exercise routine and activity best trigger a discussion that allows for the client to offer information regarding the activities that could be re-sponsible for the injury. The remaining options are more directed toward the pain the client is experiencing.
