Answer to Question 1

A
Research is finding links between the physical environment and patient outcomes, patient safety, and patient and staff satisfaction. Studies show that elements of hospital design such as exposure to natural light, private rooms, and facilities that are staff friendly and have less noise contribute to improved patient outcomes. Although carpet, paint color, and less walking are commendable, they do not directly affect patient outcomes.

Answer to Question 2

B
Prescription medications are used by 92 of seniors. These medication cost add 10 to national health care expenditures. Prescription drug use increased among the elderly after Medicare, Part D, a prescription drug benefit, was introduced in 2006.

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.
