Answer to Question 1

C
Rectal suppositories are contraindicated in cardiac patients because insertion may stimulate the vagus nerve, causing cardiac dysrhythmias. These drugs are also avoided in patients recovering from rectal or prostate surgery because they may cause pain on insertion and trauma to the tissues. The patient who had gastric surgery would be able to have a rectal suppository provided.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 2

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.
