Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1,3,5
Rationale: Biological, environmental, and cultural questions are valid questions to ask during a holistic assessment. Participation in a rehabilitation program refers to treatment, and does not have relevance to a holistic assessment. Participation in Alcoholics Anonymous refers to treatment, and does not have relevance to a holistic assessment.

Asian and African American patients are poor metabolizers of warfarin (Coumadin), so they will often require lower, not higher, dosages.
