Answer to Question 1

1, 3, 4
Anti-glomerular basement membrane disease must include the three characteristics of proliferative glomerulonephritis, pulmonary hemorrhage, and the presence of anti-GBM antibodies. Sinus infection is an assessment finding of Wegener's granulomatosis. Increased heart rate and rapidly dropping blood pressure are not characteristics of this disorder.

Answer to Question 2

4
Sandostatin is used for residual growth hormone hypersecretion following surgery. Cortone is used to treat adrenocorticotropic dysfunction, and Dostinex is used to treat hyperprolactinemia.

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.
