Answer to Question 1

D
Nursing interventions that have proven successful by research methods (evidence-based psychiatric nursing) should be the ones chosen for use by clinicians.

Answer to Question 2

B
The anticholinergic side effects most often associated with antipsychotic medications are blurred vision, constipation, dry mouth, and urinary hesitancy. Anticholinergic drugs are most often used to treat movement disorders caused by medication. In addition, they are given along with antipsychotics to prevent neurological symptom development.

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.
