Answer to Question 1

2. Diabetes is a leading cause of blindness in the United States.

Rationale:
Uncontrolled diabetes can impair vision and is a leading cause of blindness in the United States. The nurse should instruct the client on the importance of routine eye examinations to ensure fluctuating blood glucose levels are not harming the eye structures. Vision changes may or may not be common with diabetes. Corrective lenses are not always needed to use the blood glucose monitor. Vision may or may not improve when the blood glucose level is controlled.

Answer to Question 2

1. Stress management

Rationale:
Healthy People 2010 identifies the specific problem of worksites that fail to provide programs to prevent or reduce employee stress. While depression and abuse screening and substance abuse education are worthy of attention, they are not as prevalent a problem of the worksite as stress management is.
