Answer to Question 1

D
Decreased hemoglobin reduces the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood and the amount of oxygen available to the tissues, thus increasing the risk for pressure ulcers. Anemia does not cause increased sedation, edematous tissue, or reduced tensile strength.

Answer to Question 2

B, C
Instruct the patient to check with the nurse or physician with questions and concerns, or if medication is not controlling the pain. The drug may have to be changed, or the dosage may need to be adjusted.

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.
