Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
When a simple mask is used for a client with nasal trauma who breathes through the mouth, oxygen is delivered at no less than 5 L/min. A simple mask, like other types of masks, allows the administration of higher levels of oxygen than are possible with a cannula. A simple mask is sometimes substituted for a cannula when a client has nasal trauma or breathes through the mouth. When a simple mask is used, oxygen is delivered at no less than 5 L/min.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C
Fluid homeostasis is the dynamic interplay of three processes: fluid intake and absorption, fluid distribution, and fluid output. Our daily fluid output consists of hypotonic sodium-containing fluid. To maintain fluid balance, we must have an intake of an equivalent amount of hypotonic sodium-containing fluid (water plus foods with some salt). Fluid is not catabolized (broken down into components to release energy) in the body.

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.
