Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
The nurse should identify recent influenza as the physical causative factor of stress. Anxiety related to peer pressure or finances is a psychological causative factor of stress.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
When chronic tonsillitis is present, the client experiences difficulty in swallowing. Tonsillectomy is generally advised for enlarged, bacteria-loaded tonsils. Headache, swelling, and pain behind the ear, and difficulty in breathing unless sitting upright are not symptoms of tonsillitis.

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.
