Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
When the ovaries decline in function, most estrogen is obtained through the conversion of androstenedione to estrone in the skin and adipose tissue. The other choices do not explain the hormone estrogen in the postmenopausal patient.

Answer to Question 2

B
The nurse should instruct the patient and family on effective breathing techniques (such as pursed-lip breathing) and relaxation exercises for anxiety control. The patient should inhale through the nose and exhale through pursed lips. The exhalation should be 2  3 times longer than the inhalation.

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.
