Answer to Question 1

B, C, E
Signs and symptoms of right-sided CHF include fatigue, peripheral edema, gastrointestinal con-gestion and abdominal distention, ascites with liver congestion, splenomegaly, and dyspnea. Clammy skin and wheezing are symptoms of left-sided CHF.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C, D
If the foreign body is not deeply embedded in the tissues of the eye, it can easily be removed by irrigation. Irrigation with clear, lukewarm water or sterile water or saline is used to remove a for-eign body sticking to the cornea. Have the patient tilt the head back. Hold the eyelids open to prevent blinking. Sometimes a speck of foreign matter on the cornea can be removed with a moistened, sterile cotton swab. The goals of treatment will be to remove the foreign objects from the eyes and to prevent further injury to the eye. Rubbing an irritated eye may cause a corneal abrasion.
