Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale: Periodic vision screening in recommended throughout the life span.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale: Time is a factor that can affect the success of an interview. As with the interview itself, allowing the client to control the time is the most therapeutic technique, when possible. Reading the physician's notes will not affect the interview, staffing shortages cannot be overcome, and the location for the interview with the inpatient client will almost always be the client's room.
