Answer to Question 1

Answer: 2
Explanation: Holistically, in nursing, there are five domains of wellness: biological, psychological, sociological, cultural, and spiritual. Research has shown that patients with somatic symptom disorder and its related disorders express symptoms such as pain and other somatic experiences through their body. This heightened sense of pain and other normal body sensations occurs in the biological domain.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 1, 2
Explanation: General amnesia typically occurs rapidly and causes disorientation and wandering. It results in a complete loss of memory of the individual's life history. Localized amnesia is when an individual cannot recall specific events, selective amnesia is when the individual can recall some, but not all events during a specified period of time. Depersonalization is the experience of unreality or detachment from mind, self, and/or physical body. Derealization is the experience of unreality or detachment from the person's surroundings. Multiple personality states do not emerge with general amnesia.

Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
