Answer to Question 1

C

Conjunctivitis is a common eye disorder with redness, tearing, itching, edema, and gritty sensations of the eye. Hordeolum is a sty. Blepharitis is a chronic infection of glands and lash follicles on the margins of the eyelids. Glaucoma is a disease with an increased intraocular pressure.

D
Feedback:
Cigarette smoking will increase bronchoconstriction, so the patient should be encouraged to stop. The albuterol causes hand shaking. Insulin will not decrease hand shaking. The patient will not require ibuprofen (Advil). The patient should be encouraged to exercise, and it should not be limited to one time per week.
