Answer to Question 1

C
The nurse has violated the resident's right to voice a grievance and to have the problem fixed. If the residents were moving into the new building in a few days, then the nurse's response might be suitable; however, without specifying a time limit, the nurse has violated the resident's right to voice a grievance and have it remedied. A clogged sink is not abuse. The resident is not going to be transferred; all of the residents are moving to a new facility. A resident's condition or treatments are not mentioned by the resident.

Answer to Question 2

C, D
Patients suffering from wet AMD experience a decrease in central vision and visual distortion. Wet AMD leads to blindness. With distortion, edges or lines become wavy. Dry AMD rarely causes severe visual impairment, and yellow deposits under retina are a classic sign.
