Answer to Question 1

B
When cognitive functioning is disrupted, a self-care deficit may be severe. The nurse may need to dress the patient. Each step of the process of dressing should be undertaken singly, and a simple explanation as to what is expected should be given.

Answer to Question 2

B
Maxwell Jones published The Therapeutic Community in 1953 . It encouraged making use of the patient's social environment as a means of providing therapeutic experiences.

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.
