Answer to Question 1

D
The location of an ostomy determines stool consistency. The more intestine remaining, the more formed and normal the stool.

Answer to Question 2

B
Always place the stethoscope directly on the skin because clothing obscures the sound. Position the diaphragm to make a tight seal against the patient's skin. Exert enough pressure on the diaphragm to leave a temporary red ring on the patient's skin when the diaphragm is removed.

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. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.

Astigmatism is the most common vision problem. It may accompany nearsightedness or farsightedness. It is usually caused by an irregularly shaped cornea, but sometimes it is the result of an irregularly shaped lens. Either type can be corrected by eyeglasses, contact lenses, or refractive surgery.
