Answer to Question 1

1
Keratosis are patches of horny, thickened skin associated with callus formation. Linear lesions have a band-like configuration. Serpiginous lesions are serpent shaped. Dermatomal lesions occur in the location of the dermatome supplied by one or more dorsal ganglia.

Answer to Question 2

4
A close relationship between the endocrine and nervous systems is required to allow them to control homeostasis. The short-term rapid responses by the nervous system are balanced by the long-term responses from the endocrine system. Hormones are specific and can influence other hormones. This is what the nurse should instruct the client. The other choices are incorrect and should not be included in instructions to the 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.
