Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback
A Coughing, straining, or vomiting can increase intraocular pressure
postoperatively.
B Nystagmus and strabismus are clinical signs of a cataract. Color deficiency is not
a sign.
C A cataract usually does not cause double vision.
D A cataract is an opacity of the lens or loss of transparency of the lens.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
The patient should be instructed to eat foods that are high in folic acid such as spinach, asparagus, and legumes. Adding spinach every day to the evening salad indicates that teaching about folic acid nutrition has been effective. Oranges, milk, cabbage, and cauliflower are not food items that will specifically influence the folic acid level.
