Answer to Question 1

B
Medical treatment focuses on resting the affected hand(s), using splints to immobilize the hand and wrist, and taking anti-inflammatory medications. Surgery may be required to relieve pressure on the median nerve.

Answer to Question 2

B
Disaster triage systems are used in the event of a community disaster, either natural or man-made. A different approach to categorizing clients is required because of the potential for large numbers of casualties.

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.
