Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Families and clients often have negative reactions to isolation precautions. The nurse can explain that the infection is the problem, not the client, and encourage them to visit because following the precautions will prevent them from acquiring the infection. The other options do not give the family useful information to help them make an informed decision.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
This client has manifestations of smallpox, a public health emergency, and should be placed on Airborne Precautions first before other care measures are implemented.

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.
