A) "Do you have a family history of heart disease?"
B) "What is your usual level of physical activity?"

Answer 1

The nurse asks specific questions to gather a client's physical and developmental health history, including information about health problems, limitations, and level of physical activity.

Step-by-step explanation:

The questions that the nurse asks to gather a client's physical and developmental health history are:

1. Do you have any health problems that prevent you from doing any of the things people your age can normally do?
2. During the past 30 days, for about how many days did poor health keep you from doing your usual activities?
3. In the last seven days, on how many days did you exercise for 30 minutes or more?

These questions help the nurse gather information about the client's overall health, any limitations they may have, and their level of physical activity. The nurse can use this information to assess the client's current health status and make appropriate recommendations for care.
