Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1

It is appropriate to monitor an infant's temperature using the axillae. It is not appropriate to use the temporal artery, the tympanic membrane, or the oral cavity to assess an infant's temperature.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4

If a client is resting and stable, there is no need to measure vital signs until the client is awake. It is appropriate to measure vital signs before and after a procedure, on admission to the hospital, and when the client is in pain.

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.
