Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3
Termination is a time for bringing closure. A helpful technique is having the client identify changes he or she has made toward growth and sharing nurse perceptions of the client's progress. Options 1, 2, and 4 do not foster the goal of bringing closure. Instead, they open new topics.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 3
During the preorientation phase the nurse engages in autodiagnosis regarding the client and at-tempts to uncover biases or stereotypes that could influence the contact in a nontherapeutic way. Options 1 and 2 take place in other phases of the nurse-client relationship. Option 4 is not an ex-pected outcome.

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.
