Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Infections and strokes are risk factors for corneal ulcers while the other cited health problems are not.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Any action that increases intraocular pressure, such as emotional stress, vigorous coughing, and sneezing, and performing the Valsalva maneuver should be avoided. Reading, antihypertensives, and diuretics do not normally constitute a threat and it is unnecessary to advise lying throughout the day.

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.
