Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Activities that require close central vision, such as reading and sewing, are particularly affected by exudative macular degeneration. The nurse should provide other tools or items that can help compensate for diminished vision, such as books on tape. Suggesting that the patient find another activity, spend time with family and friends, or listen to music instead of watching television does not support the patient's primary recreation of reading.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Beta-blockers alone would be contraindicated in the treatment of glaucoma in patients with COPD. An adrenergic agonist may be prescribed for patients with COPD. Calcium channel blockers would not be useful in treating glaucoma. Glaucoma is not caused by infection, so antibiotics are not useful.
