Answer to Question 1

C
The nurse would assess for symptoms of grandiosity and inflated self-esteem. The client's appearance in a flowing purple robe is an example of the bizarre dress of clients who are in a manic state. Also, by asking the client if he believes he has extraordinary powers and abilities would be a method to determine the client's level of self-esteem. The nurse would recognize that delusions of grandeur are often identified in clients with psychotic disorders such as bipolar disorder.

Answer to Question 2

C

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.

It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
