Answer to Question 1

3
A heterograft (xenograft) is a graft of skin obtained from another species, such as a pig. An autograft is a permanent graft. A homograft, or cryopreserved cadaveric allograft, is a graft of skin obtained from a cadaver 6 to 24 hours after death that is used as a temporary graft. An allograft is a graft of skin from someone of the same species.

Answer to Question 2

3
The highest priority would be to maintain the airway with adequate oxygenation and ventilation. The other nursing diagnoses would not be the first priority.

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.
