Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Although the nurse is accountable to the physician, the agency, the client, and the profession, the
duty of care is owed to the client.

Answer to Question 2

C
This intervention provides support through the nurse's presence and provides structure as necessary
while the client's control is tenuous. Option A: Acting out may lead to loss of behavioral control.
Option B: Client will probably be unable to focus on instruction and comply. Option D: Restraint is
used only after other interventions have proved ineffective.

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.
