Answer to Question 1

B
When a patient begins to fall, the nurse should assume a wide base of support with one foot in front of the other to support the patient's weight, gently lower the patient to the floor, and protect the patient's head. Assess the patient for injuries at this time and notify the patient's health care provider. Even if the patient is stable, get the assistance of a lift team to help you get the patient off the floor and back in bed or a chair.

Answer to Question 2

A
Analogies add to verbal instruction by providing familiar images that make complex information more real and understandable. Discovery is a useful tool for teaching problem solving and is a technique for cognitive learning. During role-play your patients play themselves or someone else in the situation. Demonstrations are useful when teaching psychomotor skills.

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.
