What is the best nursing response when a patient asks, What do you know about massage therapy? A friend of mine says it can be more helpful than antidepressants..
 
  a. The research has shown that massage is very beneficial, so this is a good question for you to ask your doctor. Why not bring up the topic with your psychiatrist today during your visit?
  b. While a few research studies indicate that massage will help relieve depression and anxiety, it's effective for only a short time, and no studies have compared massage with medication..
  c. I know very little, because there really is no current research available on the effectiveness of massage. However, many of these new therapies can do damage, so I wouldn't do it..
  d. I know very little, because there are few research findings on the effectiveness of massage. It certainly can't hurt, and it might help, so why not try it?

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.
