Answer to Question 1

2
Cataracts occur as the opacity of the lens becomes cloudy, blurring the vision. It occurs in both eyes but is usually worse in one eye. Gradual eye blurring is not associated with glaucoma, macular degeneration, or retinal detachment.

Answer to Question 2

4
The corpus callosum allows the two hemispheres of the brain to communicate. An injury to this area could cause the client to experience temporary miscommunication between the sides of the brain. Pressure on this region may or may not lead to temporary blindness, the inability to talk, or the inability to walk.
