Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: Administering parenteral medications requires surgical asepsis.
Rationale 2: Changing a dressing requires surgical asepsis.
Rationale 3: Performing a urinary catheterization requires surgical asepsis.
Rationale 4: Using personal protective equipment demonstrates medical asepsis.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: Disinfecting an item is an example of medical asepsis, not surgical asepsis.
Rationale 2: If sterile gloved hands fall below the waist, they are considered to be unsterile.
Rationale 3: Suctioning the oral cavity of a client is considered contaminating.
Rationale 4: Touching only the inside surface of the first glove while pulling it onto the hand is the correct technique when applying sterile gloves. This prevents contamination of the outside of the glove, which must remain sterile.

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.
