Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
An open-ended question permits the patient to answer in whatever way is most meaningful. It is sometimes called a broad opening. The remaining options are incorrect, because focused questions permit only specific and narrow answers; probing suggests that the nurse is probing or digging for information; and paraphrasing allows the nurse to say in his or her own words the message conveyed by the patient.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
False reassurance involves telling the patient that there is nothing to worry about when that may or may not be true. Probing means pushing for more information. Disagreeing conveys disapproval of the patient's verbalization. Active listening is a therapeutic strategy.

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.

Though Candida and Aspergillus species are the most common fungal pathogens causing invasive fungal disease in the immunocompromised, infections due to previously uncommon hyaline and dematiaceous filamentous fungi are occurring more often today.
