Answer to Question 1

C
Macular degeneration is the atrophy or deterioration of the macula (the point on the retina where the light rays meet). The client loses central vision; that is, there is a dark hole in the center of vision. This is usually associated with aging. The client moves the head slightly to use peripheral vision to see.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 1, 4
