Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
1 L of fluid weighs 1 kg: therefore 17 lb = 7.7 kg. Thus 8 L is the closest answer.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Asking the healthcare provider about changing the IV solution to 5 dextrose in water (D5W) is the correct action to take when administering IV calcium. Saline encourages calcium loss.

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.
