Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale: The nurse documents chief complaint, or purpose of the visit; history of the present illness; and vital signs. Past medical history is obtained from the client in the waiting room, and the receptionist gathers demographic data at the same time.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: The nurse should employ active listening and observe the client as she talks to assess general mental status and overall condition. Vital signs are not measured while the client is talking, hand hygiene is performed before entering the room, and information should be documented after the client finishes speaking.

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.
