Answer to Question 1

A
Care of the patient with glomerulonephritis may include a sodium-restricted diet if edema is present. Canned soups and processed meats are high in sodium. Fluids may be limited if there is oliguria (diminished urine secretion in relation to intake) or anuria (absence of urine). A low-protein, high-carbohydrate diet also may be ordered, so the patient should not increase meat intake. Fresh produce is not contraindicated for this patient.

Answer to Question 2

A
Glaucoma is a condition that causes increased ocular pressure. Surgical management for the condition seeks to provide an increased outflow of aqueous humor.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
