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.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale: Asian and African American patients are poor metabolizers of warfarin (Coumadin), so they will often require lower dosages. There is no need for Asian and African American patients to have more frequent blood tests than Caucasian patients. Asian and African American patients are poor metabolizers of warfarin (Coumadin), so they will often require lower, not higher, dosages. There is no need for Asian and African American patients to have less frequent blood tests than Caucasian patients.
