Answer to Question 1

Answer: 3

1. The physician orders the medication for pain.
2. The physician orders a TENS unit for pain relief.
3. It is important for the nurse to believe that the client's pain is what the client says it is.
4. The nurse does not assume that a client who requests a narcotic pain reliever is addicted to the drug.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 1

1. The nurse should administer medication for moderate pain and not wait until the pain level is severe, as it is more difficult to relieve intense pain.
2. Repositioning the client would be appropriate with the administration of medication.
3. Distraction alone is not appropriate for moderate pain.
4. Guided imagery can be used in addition to medication for moderate pain.

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.
