Answer to Question 1

B
Nitrogen balance measures protein equilibrium and is used to evaluate the patient's nutritional status. Patients on bedrest or with a fever are in a catabolic state that produces a negative nitrogen balance. The muscle wasting that occurs with immobility causes negative nitrogen balance. Massive trauma and burns are other common examples of catabolic states that produce a negative nitrogen balance.

Answer to Question 2

B
The nursing diagnosis must be developed from the data gained from an assessment. The appropriate nursing diagnosis is selected based upon data cues. From the nursing diagnoses, the plan is generated, followed by implementation of the plan. Nursing evaluation occurs once interventions have been provided.

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.
