Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
All healthcare facilities are charged with providing careful and appropriate skin care to clients. The Centers for Medicare/Medicaid Services (CMS) continues to stress the importance of pressure ulcer prevention, as well as meticulous skin and wound care. In most cases, facilities will not be reimbursed for treatment of pressure ulcers occurring while a client is in their care. It is vital for the nurse to assess for pressure ulcers and any other break in skin integrity when a client is admitted to any facility.

Answer to Question 2

C

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.
