Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
The goal of IPPB is to assist the client to breathe more easily by liquefying mucus. The IPPB mechanical device forces room air or oxygen-rich air, combined with medications, deep into the client's airway. The client's lungs expand more completely, making secretions easier to remove. The remaining choices are goals of aerosol mist treatment.

Answer to Question 2

D

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.
