Answer to Question 1

C
A client's identity is assessed by asking the person to describe him- or herself. This description of the self provides the nurse with insight as to whether or not the client is comfortable with his or her identity.

Answer to Question 2

C
Nursing interventions to promote a positive self-concept includes identifying client strengths, listening to the client's self-description, involve the client in decision making, keep goals realistic, encourage the client to think positively, maintain an environment conducive to client self-expression, and explain to the client how to use positive self-talk instead of negative self-talk.

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.

The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
