Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
The family (or the long-term care facility, if the client resides there) should have a recent photo of the person, in case he or she becomes lost and police need to assist in the search. Clients with dementia must wear some sort of identification in case they wander and become lost. They can wear ID bracelets or sewn-on nametags. Hospital identification bands may work well because they cannot be removed easily. Placing bands around ankles rather than wrists is better because the bands are then out of a client's sight. At least two telephone numbers should be on the identification band. The nurse should identify the client as memory impaired.

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.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. 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.
