Answer to Question 1

D
In emergency situations, if it is impossible to obtain consent from the client or an authorized person, the beneficial or life-saving procedure may be undertaken without liability for failure to obtain consent. In such cases, the law assumes that the client would wish to be given the treat-ment.
Two witnesses are required usually when telephone consents are involved. This is not the case in this situation.
In an emergency, it is not necessary to contact the institutional review board. Doing so would take up valuable time.
A family member or acquaintance who is able to speak the client's language should not be used to interpret health care information. An official interpreter must be available to explain the terms of consent (except in an emergency situation).

Answer to Question 2

D
The client should be instructed to carry a concentrated form of carbohydrates (e.g., sugar, hard candy) and to wear a medical alert bracelet.
The client should monitor blood glucose levels immediately before and after exercise.
The client should perform low- to moderate-intensity exercises. High-intensity aerobics are not recommended.
The client should monitor blood glucose levels immediately before and after exercise.

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.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
