Answer to Question 1

1

Rationale 1:Oxymetazoline (OcuClear) is a lubricant that causes vasoconstriction.
Rationale 2:Betaxolol (Betaoptic) is a beta-adrenergic blocker used to decrease the formation of aqueous humor.
Rationale 3: Polyvinyl alcohol (Liquifilm) does not cause vasoconstriction.
Rationale 4: Lanolin alcohol (Lacri-lube) does not cause vasoconstriction.

Global Rationale: Oxymetazoline (OcuClear) is a lubricant that causes vasoconstriction.

Answer to Question 2

2

Rationale 1:Pain, related to chemical agents is incorrect because pain is not a routine occurrence.
Rationale 2: Mydriatics cause temporary vision impairments, including blurred vision. Following such examinations, clients should be careful with driving or operating machinery while their vision is affected.
Rationale 3:Self-care deficit, related to impaired vision is incorrect because the client's vision will return to normal within several hours, and they will be able to resume all care activities.
Rationale 4:Deficient knowledge, related to disease process is incorrect because it would be premature to assume that there is a disease process present.

Global Rationale: Mydriatics cause temporary vision impairments, including blurred vision. Following such examinations, clients should be careful with driving or operating machinery while their vision is affected.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
