Answer to Question 1

ANS: 2
An important task of the adolescent is separation from his or her parents in preparation for lead-ing life as an independent adult. 1. This has been an ongoing task and is not specifically related to adolescence. 3. This activity is not significant to adolescent development. 4. Adolescence is a time to develop special interest in future goals, but goal completion is not a developmental task.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 4
The client may still harbor suicidal ideation and be a danger to himself. It is of highest priority to provide a safe environment. 1. Food should be provided, but this is not the highest priority. 2. Pain relief and efforts to reduce psychologic pain are important, but not the highest priority. 3. A sense of belonging and knowing he is cared about will support recovery, but these are not the highest priority.

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.
