Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale: The nurse should recognize that neuroleptic (antipsychotic) medications are effective in the treatment of Tourette's syndrome. These medications are used to reduce the severity of tics and are most effective when combined with psychosocial therapy.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale: Andresen and associates have conceptualized a five-stage model of recovery called the Psychological Recovery Model. The stages include: Stage 1: Moratorium, Stage 2: Awareness, Stage 3: Preparation, Stage 4: Rebuilding, and Stage 5: Growth. The moratorium stage is identified by dark despair and confusion. It is called moratorium, because it seems that life is on hold.

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.
