Answer to Question 1

4. Scarring of the cornea

Rationale:
Trachoma is a chronic form of conjunctivitis that causes the formation of granulation tissue that is abraded by the lashes leading to scarring of the cornea and eventual blindness. The eye muscles, retina, and iris are not affected by the disease.

Answer to Question 2

1. Situational Low Self-Esteem

Rationale:
The client believes that once menopause is reached, her life is over. The most appropriate nursing diagnosis for the client at this time would be situational low self-esteem since the client could have inadequate coping skills to aid with the aging process. There is no information to support the diagnosis of ineffective sexuality pattern. The client may or may not have deficient knowledge or a disturbed body image.
