Answer to Question 1

C
The patient's condition can rapidly deteriorate into paralysis that affects the respiratory muscles. Close monitoring of respiratory function is important and necessary.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Assessing her condition immediately is most important; she may need to have an EEG or other medical test or treatment at the hospital. If a fracture seems possible, then an X-ray should be requested. The other choices, though important for her future safety, are less important.

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.
