Answer to Question 1

B
The treatment plan must first address the goal of protecting the patient from self-harm, and no threat of suicide should be ignored, even if no attempt has occurred. Admission is the most appropriate action in this case. The remaining goals do not adequately address the patient's risk for self-harm.

Answer to Question 2

F

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.
