Answer to Question 1

2. I can take 1 tablet every 5 minutes, but not more than 3 tablets in 15 minutes..

Rationale:
Clients must be instructed to take one nitroglycerine tablet sublingual every 5 minutes until pain is relieved, or up to 3 doses. Nitroglycerine tablets should be taken every 5 minutes, not every 10 minutes. Clients should follow the timeframe of taking a nitroglycerine tablet every 5 minutes and not exceed 3 tablets. Calling the physician is appropriate, but the client must still know the protocol for taking nitroglycerine tablets.

Answer to Question 2

2. Compromised Family Coping related to the child's developmental variations

Rationale:
The family's ability to cope is compromised by the child's developmental variations, but the family is not dysfunctional. Hopelessness and impaired parenting are not appropriate in the given situation.

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.
