Answer to Question 1

A
Generally teaching and learning begin when a person identifies a need for knowing or acquiring an ability to do something. Focusing on hospital food, finding a cure, and not taking medications because feeling better indicate the patient is not motivated to learn at this time.

Answer to Question 2

C
With the dominant hand resting on the patient's forehead, hold a filled medication eye dropper or ophthalmic solution approximately 1 to 2 cm ( to inch) above the conjunctival sac. Drop the prescribed number of medication drops into the conjunctival sac. Avoid instilling any form of eye medication directly onto the cornea. The cornea of the eye has many pain fibers and is thus very sensitive to anything applied to it. Place intraocular disks in the conjunctival sac so that it floats on the sclera between the iris and lower eyelid
