Which of the following questions would be a good opening to address health concerns with a male client?
a. "How do you know when you are ill?"
b. "What sort of health problems or illnesses do you have?"
c. "What are your usual physical activities?"
d. "What would your wife say about your health?"
ANS: C
The text suggests to ask a man about how he spends his leisure time, what he is doing to take care of himself, and what his usual physical activities are. Thus, asking about his physical activities would be the most appropriate question. Asking how he knows when he is ill, the sorts of illnesses he experiences, or what his wife says about his health would not be a good opening to the conversation.
