Answer to Question 1

D

Feedback
A Incorrect. Encouraging a mother to discuss her feelings about leaving her son is alway appropriate for a nurse.
B Incorrect. Expressing anger to a mother because she does not stay with her child is never appropriate for a nurse.
C Incorrect. Assessing the family's socioeconomic needs is often appropriate for a nurse.
D Correct. When a nurse offers to set up a meeting with social services and child protective services, he or she has made a value judgment about the mother's behavior and this is not appropriate.

A
All of these symptoms are normal for a patient undergoing chemotherapy.

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.
