Answer to Question 1

A, C, D, E
Health care workers, older adults, and chronically ill individuals are at risk for contracting in-fluenza and should be immunized. Compromised infants should not be immunized.

Answer to Question 2

B
The person with hyperopia is farsighted; the patient cannot see things up close and must change the distance from the eyes in order to focus. The person with myopia cannot see things in the distance. Presbyopia refers to the hardening of the ciliary bodies of the eyes. Astigmatism refers to a visual defect resulting from a warped lens or an irregular curvature of the cornea.
