Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The teen is displaying normal grief responses. He is not avoiding his pain but rather express-ing it various ways. There are no data to support that he feels responsible. He has not ex-pressed suicidal ideation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Some families who are experiencing anticipatory grieving withdraw prematurely from the ill member, so this is an important outcome. There are no protective mechanisms to prevent loss experiences. Anticipatory grieving does not imply violence. A contract to stay home and care for the spouse even with assistance is not helpful.

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.
