Answer to Question 1

1, 3, 5, 6
Interventions to improve dry eyes include drink 8 to 10 glasses of water each day; blink more frequently; avoid rubbing the eyes; and know that dry air makes the condition worse. Petroleum jelly is not a treatment for dry eyes. Avoiding the sun is good advice; however, it is not proven to help with dry eyes.

Answer to Question 2

1, 2, 3, 4
Abnormal cerebrospinal fluid analysis findings include opening pressure 40 mmHg, which could indicate dehydration; cloudy in appearance would indicate an increase in white blood cells; elevated red blood cell count would indicate either a traumatic spinal tap or active bleeding; and elevated white blood cell count would indicate meningitis, tumors, or multiple sclerosis. Glucose level of 60 md/dL is a normal finding. Fluid pH of 7.35 is a normal finding.
