Answer to Question 1

3. Lid ecchymosis with subconjunctival hemorrhage

Rationale:
Blunt trauma to the eye, caused by being hit with a ball, can cause lid ecchymosis, or a black eye, and subconjunctival hemorrhage. Eye pain and loss of vision are associated with penetrating injuries to the eye. A cloudy cornea is associated with burns to the eye. Photophobia and eye tearing are seen in corneal abrasions.

Answer to Question 2

1. I'm glad to know about my medications. It makes taking them a lot easier..

Rationale:
Compliance is best illustrated when the person recognizes and accepts the need to learn, then follows through with appropriate behaviors that reflect learning. Learning about the medications helps the client understand why they are prescribed and improves the possibility for following the prescribed regimen. Statements of prior knowledge do not necessarily lead to compliance, and neither does merely following the advice of the health care prescriber.
