Answer to Question 1

Answer: D

The adolescent values communication with peers and may feel frustrated that he cannot speak to them while intubated. The adolescent is present, not future, oriented and is unlikely to worry about household chores or future unknown procedures. The adolescent with cystic fibrosis is likely to be underweight and is unlikely to take in more calories than needed while intubated.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C

The family has experienced a devastating loss. The family's ability to cope has been compromised and the nurse will also assess their external support systems. The family is not in a state of readiness yet. There is no evidence that the family is dysfunctional or that any family member is experiencing ineffective coping.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.

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.
