Answer to Question 1

Answers should reflect the needs of the elderly, especially those who are
institutionalized. Suggestions should include a variety of interesting activities from
which residents can choose, opportunities for residents to use their creative abilities,
and social activities calling for cooperation among residents themselves and with the
outside community.

Answer to Question 2

Answers should recognize the importance of staying active and independent,
involved with the community and family, and/or recognizing and compensating for
limitations as they arise.

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.
