Answer to Question 1

ANS: 4

Answer to Question 2

2. Provide large-print reading materials

Rationale:
The client with macular degeneration would benefit from having large-print reading materials or using a magnifying glass for materials that cannot be printed over-sized. The nurse should not provide information on learning how to read Braille. Increased antioxidant intake has been associated with a reduction in the symptoms of macular degeneration, so the client should be encouraged to increase the intake of fruits and vegetables in addition to zinc and copper supplements. Fluid restriction is not appropriate for a client with macular degeneration.
