Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C, D
The primary cause of pressure ulcers is, as the name suggests, pressure. However, it is more than just pressure; it is the intensity of the pressure, the length of time that the tissue is subjected to the pressure, and intrinsic and extrinsic factors that affect the tissue's ability to withstand or tolerate that pressure. Intrinsic and extrinsic factors can include nutrition status and age.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The subcutaneous layer delivers the blood supply to the dermis, provides insulation, and has a cushioning effect. The stratum germinativum constantly produces new cells that are pushed upward through the other layers of the epidermis toward the stratum corneum, where they flatten, die, and are eventually sloughed off and replaced by new cells. The epidermis is the outermost layer of the skin and the thinnest of the layers. The stratum corneum is made up of flattened dead cells.

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.
