Answer to Question 1

Answer: 1

1. Clients with PVD are prone to stasis ulcers, which they might not feel due to poor circulation. Clients should inspect their legs and feet daily.
2. The client should be taught not to cross his legs when seated.
3. The legs are elevated when in bed to promote venous return.
4. The client should not stand or sit for long periods, but ambulation is advised.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 4

1. Sodium in food will not necessarily dispose clients to PVD.
2. Decreasing fat and cholesterol should begin in childhood, especially if there is a family history of PVD.
3. Smoking should be avoided altogether.
4. A healthy weight will help promote a healthy vascular system.

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.
