Answer to Question 1

D
Because of the importance of cost control in health care, avoid taking excess linen into a patient's room. After taking linen into a patient's room, if unused, you need to return it to the laundry for laundering.

Answer to Question 2

D
Age-related macular degeneration occurs when the macula (specialized portion of the retina re-sponsible for central vision) degenerates as a result of aging and loses its ability to function effi-ciently. An early sign includes distortion that causes edges or lines to appear wavy. In later stag-es, patients may see dark or empty spaces that block the center of vision.
