Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C, D
Interventions that Promote Healthy Skin While Aging include avoiding excessive exposure to ultraviolet light, keeping the skin moisturized, avoiding drying soaps and protecting the skin from injury. Bathing in tepid water decreases oil lose from the surface of the skin. Wearing gloves in the winter is more directed towards protecting circulation in the hands.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Glaucoma is caused by a decrease in the efficiency of the absorptive process of intraocular fluid that accompanies aging and may lead to eventual breakdown in the absorptive process, which can lead to increased intraocular pressure and the development of glaucoma. Spasms of the orbicular muscle can cause the lower lid to turn inward. If it stays this way, it is called entropion. The changes described contribute to decreased accommodation. Bits of coalesced vitreous that have broken off from the peripheral or central part of the retina is the definition of floaters.
