Answer to Question 1

B
The most immediate concern for a patient with priapism, a condition caused by lack of circulation to the penis, is that this can cause further health complications. Anxiety, sexual dysfunction, and ineffective coping are all also valid nursing diagnoses but are not a priority for this patient. The diagnosis that causes the most harm to the patient should be addressed first.

Answer to Question 2

C
Clients between the ages of 40 and 64 years should have an eye examination every one to two years if there is a family history of glaucoma or if the client is of African descent.
Every three to four months is not the recommended frequency of eye examinations for this age group.
Every six months is not the recommended frequency of eye examinations for this age group.
Every four years is not the recommended frequency of eye examinations for this age group.
