Given that \(\cos(\theta) = -\frac{7}{25}\) and \(\theta\) is in Quadrant II, we need to find the exact values of \(\sin(\theta)\) and \(\tan(\theta)\).

### Part 1: Finding \(\sin(\theta)\)

We can use the Pythagorean identity:

\[
\sin^2(\theta) + \cos^2(\theta) = 1
\]

Substituting the value of \(\cos(\theta)\):

\[
\sin^2(\theta) + \left(-\frac{7}{25}\right)^2 = 1
\]

\[
\sin^2(\theta) + \frac{49}{625} = 1
\]

Subtract \(\frac{49}{625}\) from both sides:

\[
\sin^2(\theta) = 1 - \frac{49}{625}
\]

To subtract the fractions, write \(1\) as \(\frac{625}{625}\):

\[
\sin^2(\theta) = \frac{625}{625} - \frac{49}{625} = \frac{576}{625}
\]

Taking the square root of both sides:

\[
\sin(\theta) = \pm \sqrt{\frac{576}{625}} = \pm \frac{24}{25}
\]

Since \(\theta\) is in Quadrant II, where sine is positive:

\[
\sin(\theta) = \frac{24}{25}
\]

### Part 2: Finding \(\tan(\theta)\)

The tangent function is defined as:

\[
\tan(\theta) = \frac{\sin(\theta)}{\cos(\theta)}
\]

Substitute the values we have:

\[
\tan(\theta) = \frac{\frac{24}{25}}{-\frac{7}{25}} = \frac{24}{25} \times \frac{25}{-7} = \frac{24}{-7} = -\frac{24}{7}
\]

### Summary of Results:
- \(\sin(\theta) = \frac{24}{25}\)
- \(\tan(\theta) = -\frac{24}{7}\)
