Answer to Question 1

Iron can cause dark green or black stools. The patient should report constipation, diarrhea, nau-sea, or abdominal pain to the health care provider.

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.
