A client's susceptibility to chronic pulmonary disease is most likely due to which aspect in the client's history?
1. Owned and worked a farm
2. Worked in a hospital
3. Worked as a air traffic controller
4. Played in a band
Owned and worked a farm
Rationale: Farmers are exposed to pesticides every day while they are preparing the land for farming and while crops are growing. Working in a hospital may increase the risk for colds and influenza, but does not increase the risk for chronic pulmonary disease. Air traffic controllers and band members are not more likely to have increased risk of chronic pulmonary disease.
