Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Constipation can be partially managed with good dietary habits, including eating lots of fresh produce for fiber and increasing water intake.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, C, D, E
The following factors lead to otitis media in children: the eustachian tubes are short, wide, and straight and lie in a horizontal plane; the cartilage lining is undeveloped, making the tubes more distensible; the normally abundant pharyngeal lymphoid tissue readily obstructs the eustachian tube openings in the nasopharynx; immature humoral defense mechanisms increase the risk of infections; and the lying-down position of infants favors the pooling of fluid, such as formula, in the pharyngeal cavity.

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.
