Answer to Question 1

2
Persons at greatest risk for adverse reactions to NSAIDs include those who are prescribed warfarin (Coumadin) since the NSAID can increase the effects of the Coumadin and promote bleeding.

Answer to Question 2

4
Malignant hyperthermia is a medical emergency. The anesthetic agent should be stopped immediately and the client should be hyperventilated with 100 oxygen. The surgery should be stopped if it is an elective case. Dantrolene should be provided.

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.
