Answer to Question 1

C
HIPAA, enacted in April 2003, includes regulations specifically focused on patient privacy. It is a federal law binding in all states. The Patient's Bill of Rights summarizes the rights of a patient but is not specifically aimed at guarding privacy. OBRA monitors many aspects of care, including the use of restraints, and the Patient Self-Determination Act requires that patients be asked if they have living wills, have given someone durable power of attorney, or have advance directives in place.

Answer to Question 2

C
Psychotropic medications are very effective in treating hallucinations, paranoia, and self-injuring behaviors associated with dementia. A pronounced side effect of psychotropic medications is sedation. Responses A, B, and D are inappropriate uses of psychotropic medications for their sedative effects.

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.
