Answer to Question 1

D
Moisture on the surface of the skin serves as a medium for bacterial growth and causes irritation, softens epidermal cells, and leads to skin maceration. When restricted from moving freely, dependent body parts are exposed to pressure that reduces circulation to affected tissues. Know which patients require help to turn and change positions. Patients with paralysis, circulatory insufficiency, or local nerve damage are unable to sense an injury to the skin. Patients with limited caloric and protein intake develop thinner, less elastic skin with loss of subcutaneous tissue, which results in impaired or delayed wound healing.

Answer to Question 2

D
In contrast to other types of interviews, cultural assessment is intrusive and time-consuming and requires a trusting relationship between participants. Miscommunication commonly occurs in intercultural interactions as the result of language and communication differences between and among participants, as well as differences in interpreting each other's behaviors. The goal is to generate knowledge about the patient's values, beliefs, and practices about nursing and health care.

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.
