"Do you smoke?" This is a closed-ended question that can be answered with a simple "yes" or "no." It doesn't encourage elaboration or detailed responses.

"Are you feeling well?" Similar to option A, this is a closed-ended question. It prompts a "yes" or "no" answer without inviting further discussion or detailed explanation.

"Do you use any illicit drugs?" This is another closed-ended question that requires a "yes" or "no" answer. It does not provide the opportunity for the client to discuss their drug use in detail.

Obesity: While obesity can be linked to a negative self-concept, it is not as closely associated with a "skeletal appearance" as anorexia nervosa.

Fad dieting: Fad dieting may indicate concerns about body image, but it does not typically lead to a skeletal appearance and may not necessarily be tied to a deeply negative self-concept.

Eating fast foods: While this can lead to poor nutritional habits and weight issues, it does not typically lead to a skeletal appearance and is not directly associated with a negative self-concept.

Cooperative play: Cooperative play involves children playing together with a common goal or activity. This type of play is more typical of older preschoolers and school-age children.

Solitary play: Solitary play is common in infants and very young toddlers where they play alone and are not engaged with others. By the toddler stage, children often progress to parallel play.

Associative play: Associative play involves children interacting and playing together, but not with a structured goal or organization. This typically develops after parallel play, around the preschool age.

"I will make exercise a part of my daily activities." This is a positive and correct statement. Regular exercise is an important component of a healthy lifestyle and should be encouraged.

"I only have one glass of wine a day with dinner." This statement aligns with moderate alcohol consumption guidelines, which suggest that up to one glass of wine per day for women and two for men can be part of a healthy lifestyle.

"I will begin a smoking cessation program this week." This statement reflects a positive health choice. Quitting smoking is one of the most beneficial actions a person can take for their health, reducing risks for many diseases.

Pincer grasp: The pincer grasp, which involves using the thumb and forefinger to pick up small objects, typically develops around 8 to 12 months of age, not at 4 months.

Walks with support: Walking with support usually begins around 9 to 12 months of age, much later than 4 months.

Rolls from back to tummy: Rolling from back to tummy typically occurs a bit later, often around 5 to 6 months. At 4 months, rolling from tummy to back is the more expected milestone.

Lithotomy: The lithotomy position is primarily used for gynecological exams and procedures, where the client is lying on their back with legs elevated and supported. It is not appropriate for breast examination.

Sims: The Sims position, where the client is lying on their side with one knee bent, is typically used for rectal exams and certain types of enemas. It is not suitable for breast examination.

Prone: The prone position involves lying face down. This position does not provide access to the breasts and is not used for breast examination.

20 lbs: This is a plausible estimate. By 12 months, an infant's birth weight typically triples. Therefore, an 8 lb birth weight would approximately translate to 24 lbs at 12 months.

32 lbs: This estimate is too high. If an infant's birth weight triples by 12 months, an 8 lb birth weight would not be expected to reach 32 lbs.

16 lbs: This is an underestimate. An 8 lb infant would double their birth weight by about 4 to 6 months, and by 12 months, they would typically have tripled their birth weight to around 24 lbs.

Percussion: Percussion is typically performed before palpation. It helps to detect differences in density of abdominal contents, fluid presence, and gas patterns.

Auscultation: Auscultation is performed before any palpation or percussion to prevent altering bowel sounds. It is typically the second step after inspection.

Inspection: Inspection is always the first step in any physical examination. It allows for a visual assessment of the abdomen, looking for distension, asymmetry, and skin changes.

Administer oxygen at 2 L/min: Administering oxygen is important but should be done after positioning the client to improve natural ventilation.

Encourage coughing and deep breathing: Encouraging coughing and deep breathing is also beneficial to help clear secretions and improve lung function, but positioning the client for optimal breathing should be prioritized first.

Administer prescribed analgesic medication. Administering analgesics may be necessary for pain management, but it does not directly address the immediate need to improve oxygen saturation.

Focused assessment: A focused assessment is targeted on a specific problem or area of concern, rather than a general or comprehensive evaluation.

Emergency assessment: An emergency assessment is rapid and focuses on identifying life-threatening conditions or urgent needs. It is not a routine, ongoing assessment.

Comprehensive assessment: A comprehensive assessment is an in-depth evaluation of the client's overall health status, usually performed upon admission or during initial evaluation. It is not typically repeated throughout the shift.
