Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3
Within the inner ear are the semicircular canals, three fluid-filled structures that assist in main-taining balance. An inner ear infection would interfere with the proper functioning of the semi-circular canals and place the client at risk for falling. The remaining options do not deal as direct-ly with mobility.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 2
Regular physical activity and exercise enhances functioning of all body systems, including car-diopulmonary functioning (endurance), musculoskeletal fitness (flexibility and bone integrity), weight control and maintenance (body image), and psychological well-being. Osteopenia, the precursor of osteoporosis, results in weakened bones that are easily damaged. Walking helps stimulate bone cell production, which in turns helps produce stronger bones. While the other op-tions are not incorrect, they do not address the issue of osteopenia.

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.
