Answer to Question 1

D
A SAD PERSONS scale score of 0 to 2 suggests home care with follow-up. A score of 3 to 4 calls
for close follow-up and possible hospitalization. A score of 5 to 6 requires the nurse to strongly
consider hospitalization, and a score of 7 or higher calls for hospitalization.

Answer to Question 2

A
Negative feelings may indicate the presence of countertransference, signaling an unresolved conflict.
The other comments are appropriate and suggest no overinvolvement.

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.
