Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3
Within the inner ear are the semicircular canals, three fluid-filled structures that assist in main-taining balance. An inner ear infection would interfere with the proper functioning of the semi-circular canals and place the client at risk for falling. The remaining options do not deal as direct-ly with mobility.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 2
Regular physical activity and exercise enhances functioning of all body systems, including car-diopulmonary functioning (endurance), musculoskeletal fitness (flexibility and bone integrity), weight control and maintenance (body image), and psychological well-being. Osteopenia, the precursor of osteoporosis, results in weakened bones that are easily damaged. Walking helps stimulate bone cell production, which in turns helps produce stronger bones. While the other op-tions are not incorrect, they do not address the issue of osteopenia.
