Answer to Question 1

Answer: 1
Explanation: 1. The Global Alliance for Leadership in Nursing Education and Science (GANES). GANES is an organization established to support health care policy makers and nurse educators throughout the world. GANES activities include promoting sharing among nurse educators around the world, providing information and advice to global policy makers related to nursing education issues, and supporting development of a sound evidence base for nursing practice and education. The one action that the nurse should take in preparation for the meeting would be to provide approaches to improve standard precautions in underdeveloped countries. This would support the educational purpose of GANES. Strategies to reduce travel would not be a nursing activity. Identifying ways to provide face masks to travelers could be an operationalization of an approach to reduce the spread of the infection. Documenting the number of new cases identified does not support the purpose of GANES.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 3
Explanation: 3. WHO recognizes the importance of nursing (and midwifery) services to the accomplishment of global health objectives and so maintains a Nursing and Midwifery Office to assist with nursing development throughout the world. This office can provide the nurse with information about the management of nursing and midwifery personnel and nursing and midwifery education. Studying the culture, packing clothing, and learning the language will not necessarily help the nurse support the global health objectives for this humanitarian mission.

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.
