Answer to Question 1

D
Vision is also affected by aging. The lens becomes less pliable and less able to increase its curvature, causing presbyopia. Accommodation of pupils decreases and vitreous humor changes, causing blurred vision. Lacrimal ducts secrete less fluid, causing dryness and itching.

Answer to Question 2

A
Dyspnea may develop as a result of fluid accumulation in the chest, respiratory infections, fibrosis, or anemia. The nurse should monitor the client for any respiratory complications and for oxygen status via pulse oximetry. Placing the client in high Fowler's position helps improve ventilation. Minimizing client activity will also balance oxygen requirements and supply, and improving air flow around the client's unit is also helpful.
