Answer to Question 1

D
With active listening, the nurse gives his or her full attention to what the patient is saying. It is most effective when the nurse clarifies the patient's statements by restating what the patient said, ensuring that the nurse correctly understood what the patient meant.

Answer to Question 2

D
Patient weight gain and increased shortness of breath are signs of worsening heart failure. The prescriber should be notified because the plan of care may need to be modified. If the patient is taking a diuretic, it is likely that the dose may be increased.

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.
