The Braden scale is used to determine risk for impaired skin integrity: The Glasgow is a coma scale, the Vanderbilt is a behavior scale, and the MMSE is the mini-mental exam to determine cognitive status.

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.
