Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Clients requiring a moderate amount of skilled nursing care are admitted to an intermediate care unit. The nurse should know that clients who need additional observation before hospitalization are likely to be admitted to a CDU because it provides care for clients who need additional observation, diagnostic testing, or treatment before hospital admission or discharge. Clients who require transitioning from the hospital or skilled nursing facility will be cared for in a self-care unit, not the clinical decision unit. Clients who have abused chemical substances are admitted to a chemical dependency unit.

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.
