Answer to Question 1

3
The nurse should notify an ophthalmologist with the client's symptoms. The onset of a shadow in the field of vision that will not dissipate is an indication of a detached retina. Retinal detachments rarely self-repair, and the client will need surgery. The nurse should not instruct the client to return home to rest in bed. The client should not be encouraged to continue with normal daily activities. Fluids and saline eyedrops will not help a detached retina.

Answer to Question 2

2
An electroencephalogra m or EEG measures the electrical activity of the cerebral hemispheres. A myelogram is an invasive procedure used to visualize obstructions, compression, or herniated intervertebral discs. A transcranial Doppler sonogram measures the velocities of intracranial brain vessels. The electromyogram measures the electrical activity of the peripheral nerves.

The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
