Answer to Question 1

1,3,4
Rationale: Increases levels of dopamine. Meditation increases levels of dopamine and decreases mood disturbance and stress symptoms.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: Exercise and movement therapies such as Tai Chi can help induce relaxation, maintain flexibility, and restore balance in older clients. Pet therapy and social support groups are more commonly used with older adults who lack social supports or effective coping skills and do not restore balance. Older adults living in the community tend to have higher functional ability, greater social interaction, and cognitive abilities than older adults in long-term care facilities and are less likely to require reality orientation.

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.
