Answer to Question 1

D
Prioritizing care is one way that nurses have of organizing their patient care duties. Tasks related to life-threatening or potentially life-threatening conditions (e.g., assessing a patient's ABCs) are always the top priority. Patient safety concerns come second (e.g., availability of crash carts, equipment to help prevent falls or injury). The third area of patient care duties relates to the plan of care and patient comfort, education (e.g., pain medication, patient positioning, diabetes education).

Answer to Question 2

C
Experienced staff to deal with problems

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.
