Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
A person with hyperopia cannot see close objects clearly. Objects at a distance appear blurred to a client with myopia. A person with astigmatism cannot bring horizontal and vertical lines into focus at the same time, causing blurry vision. Presbyopia is a gradual loss of the function of accommodation.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
It is a nurse's duty to inform superiors that the client experienced a burning sensation after applying the ointment. The nurse was also expected to make a report of the same. This action or the lack of action on the nurse's part is referred to as abandonment of care. Withholding treatment means denial of treatment or care, which is regarded as inappropriate or unavailable; termination of treatment is defined as an intentional decision to stop treatment at the client's request or after the healthcare team has determined that brain death has occurred; refusal of treatment can be termed as the denial of permission by the client to impart treatment to him or her.
