Answer to Question 1

2
Rolfing is a form of deep tissue massage and manipulation to correct body posture. Usually 10 sessions are required to completely restore the body's alignment. Shiatsu is a combination of acupressure, massage, stretching, and joint manipulation to unblock the flow of chi. Therapeutic massage will not break up scar tissue. Relaxation is not a type of massage.

Answer to Question 2

1
The ulnar surface of the hand is best for assessing vibrations which would be used to assess for a cardiac thrill. The dorsal aspect of the hand is best for assessing temperature. The fingertips are best for assessing fine sensation. A stethoscope is not used to assess for a cardiac thrill.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. 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.
