Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Feedback:
The nurse should monitor for an increased absorption of iron in the client due to the interaction of ascorbic acid with the iron preparation. An increase in seizure activity may occur when folic acid is administered with the hydantoins. Signs of folate deficiency may occur when sulfasalazine is administered concurrently. Vitamin B12 deficiency is a rare deficiency caused by a low dietary intake.

Answer to Question 2

Awesome help, super fast

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.
