Answer to Question 1

B
Treatment of Mnire disease focuses on relieving symptoms; there is no cure for this condition, although the disorder does disappear spontaneously in some cases. To control edema and reduce pressure in the inner ear, the patient may be placed on a low-sodium diet. The patient's fluid in-take may be restricted, and diuretics may be ordered. The nurse should avoid turning on bright overhead lights, making loud noises, or having the patient reposition unnecessarily.

Answer to Question 2

B
The fold of the scarf retains body heat and can warm air as the air passes through the scarf.

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.
