Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Feedback:
Personal responsibility for health involves active participation in one's own health through education and lifestyle changes. In this case, the client makes a positive change in lifestyle by monitoring body weight weekly. Telehealth is the use of electronic information and telecommunications technologies to support long-distance clinical healthcare, client and professional health-related education, public health, and health administration. Health information technology (HIT) is defined as the comprehensive management of health information and its exchange between consumers, providers, government, and insurers in a secure manner. Evidence-based nursing is the integration of the best evidence available with clinical expertise and the values of the client to increase the quality of care.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A, B, D, E
Feedback:
The social conditions in which people live, their income, social status, education, literacy, home and work environment, support networks, gender, culture, and availability of health services are the social determinants of health. These conditions have an impact on the extent to which a person or community possesses the physical, social, and personal resources necessary to attain and maintain health. A medical error on the part of the client's primary care provider or nurse would not constitute a social determinant of the client's health.

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.
