Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The presence of protein in the urine in significant amounts indicates cellular injury and altered cellular function. Neither glucose nor blood is normally present in the urine, but its presence is not indicative of altered cellular function. Urea is an expected substance in the kidney.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Frailty leaves the individual vulnerable to falls, disease, and death. Sarcopenia is loss of muscle mass. It is associated with aging but is not as severe as frailty. Somatic death is death of the whole person. Cellular aging occurs at the cellular level and is characteristic of aging, including cell atrophy, decreased function, and loss of cells.

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.
