Answer to Question 1

C

Feedback
A A nodule is an elevated solid mass, deeper and firmer than a papule, 1 to 2 cm.
B A macule is a flat, nonpalpable change in skin colour, smaller than 1 cm.
C This finding is consistent with the definition of a vesicle.
D A wheal is an irregularly shaped, elevated area or superficial localized edema that varies in size.

Answer to Question 2

C
P, 80; R, 22; BP, 110/70 are expected findings in a 10-year-old client. The normal pulse range for a 10-year-old is 75 to 100 beats per minute, and the normal respiratory rate is 20 to 30 breaths per minute. The average blood pressure for a 10-year-old is 110/65 mm Hg.
P, 140; R, 50; BP, 80/50 are not expected values for a 10-year-old client.
P, 100; R, 40; BP, 90/60 are not expected values for a 10-year-old client.
P, 60; R, 12; BP, 160/90 are not expected values for a 10-year-old client.

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.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
