  1. call her physician and request a prescription for a more effective analgesic.
  2. give her a one-time extra dose of her analgesic.
  3. change the schedule of her analgesic to be more effective.
  4. give her as-needed doses of an immediate-release analgesic in response to the breakthrough pain in addition to the scheduled analgesic dosage.

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.
