Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
The older person will find that he or she needs more light for reading because the pupils cannot adapt as well. As a rule, illumination (foot-candle level) must double for each added 13 years of age beyond 40 . Clients should clean eyeglasses daily with a soft, dry cloth and avoid using paper products because they may scratch the lenses. Night blindness also increases with age and a night light in the client's room helps prevent injury. The nurse should encourage the client to let people know if speech is not heard. Sometimes, using different words to communicate the same message can be helpful.
