Answer to Question 1

ANS: 1, 2, 4, 5
The health history involves a lengthy client interview to gather subjective data about the client's condition. Gather information about the client's health from the health history. The answers are questions designed to obtain subjective information related to the client's complaints. The re-maining options are not of significant value related to the cause and treatment of the client's pain.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6
Providing rationale for client admission or discharge is not an outcome of a nursing physical as-sessment.
