Answer to Question 1

A
The blindness is an impairment of vision that does not inhibit the patient from performing his job or enjoying a normal life.

Answer to Question 2

B
Aplastic anemia can cause bleeding episodes. Priority nursing actions are directed toward pre-venting the episodes. Providing a soft toothbrush and decreasing clutter in the room are interven-tions to reduce risk of bleeding. While aplastic anemia can cause fatigue, and limiting activity and providing nontaxing entertainment can help, fatigue is a lesser priority than decreasing risk for bleeding. Requesting an order for telemetry and limiting intake of potassium-rich foods are indicated when monitoring high-potassium levels (which are not typical of aplastic anemia). Re-positioning and floating heels are interventions helpful in preventing skin breakdown.
