Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3
This nurse displayed critical thinking in not just responding to the patient's pain but in assessing and collecting data, analyzing the data, and developing a plan for how to respond. By the time the nurse begins to intervene, there is a strong enough base of data to indicate what is required for this patient.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 1
A critical thinker does not blindly follow another but finds the best route.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.

Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).
