Answer to Question 1

2
The law protects the autonomy of competent individuals in making health care decisions regarding genetic testing and the lifestyle changes resulting from such tests. There may be a conflict between the rights of the individual and the rights of the family for whom this information may have relevance to health. The other choices do not apply to a conflict situation with a client and the family.

Answer to Question 2

1
High risks for developing mucositis include age younger than 20, hematologic or head and neck cancer, preexisting oral disease, and chemotherapy and radiation. Age greater than 50, living arrangements, and level of fatigue do not increase a client's risk of developing mucositis.

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.
