Answer to Question 1

A
Support surfaces aid in reducing pressure on the patient's skin. Promoting patient comfort may happen, but it is not the primary purpose of the support mattress. A support mattress does not increase patient circulation, nor does it facilitate patient movement.

Answer to Question 2

ischemia
Inadequate tissue perfusion results in inadequate delivery of oxygen and nutrients to cells, a condition called ischemia . This is caused by constriction of vessels or by occlusion (blockage) from clot formation.

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.
