Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale: Prozac (fluoxetine), an SSRI, is effective for clients with bulimia when given at the higher dose of 50 to 60 mg per day. Benadryl, Ritalin, and Prolixin are not first-line medications for clients with bulimia nervosa.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale: The stressful situation (divorce) has caused a situational crisis. The client is not using previously developed coping skills, but instead adopted the ineffective coping mechanism of regression. Lack of resilience cannot be identified from the information given.

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.
