Answer to Question 1

1. Weight
2. Occupation
4. Smoking history

Rationale:
The nurse should assess the client for risk factors associated with back pain, which include being overweight, sedentary or industrial employment, and smoking. Assessing the client's diet may or may not be applicable; this would depend upon the client's weight. The number of children is not an identified risk factor for back pain.

Answer to Question 2

A
Chronobiology is a relatively new branch of science that studies rhythms that are controlled by the biological clock.

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.
