Answer to Question 1

C
If cataract surgery was performed without a lens implant, the patient will wear glasses or contact lenses but will have a decrease in depth perception. The patient should not drive and should use extra caution negotiating stairs. The other instructions are appropriate for any patient having cat-aract surgery.

Answer to Question 2

A
Risk factors for osteoporosis include thin body frame, white race, advancing age, alcoholism, and smoking, among others. The 84-year-old who smokes is at highest risk despite being Asian.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
