Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C, D, E
Lung sounds, pallor and color, respiratory rate and effort, peak expiratory flow, and pulse oximetry should be assessed in the patient with asthma. Assessment of bowel sounds is not pertinent.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C, D, E
It is important to assess present and past respiratory history (including smoking history and exposure to secondhand smoke), obtain thorough medication history, ascertain the chief complaint and current pulmonary symptoms (including cough and sputum color), determine the patient's support system, and ask about any home treatments when obtaining information from a patient with acute and chronic lung disease. Liver function testing is not necessary for the assessment of this patient.
