Answer to Question 1

C
The safety of the other patients in the room is of primary importance. Once other patients are out of the room, a plan for controlling this patient can be implemented.

Answer to Question 2

B
Illness is a state of imbalance that is compared with the person's condition prior to development of the present condition. Health is when an individual experiences homeostasis, or a state of balance; recovery refers to improvement after an illness.

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.
