Answer to Question 1

D
A, B, C, and D. Adjust the temperature to a more comfortable range, and assess if shivering decreases. If shivering continues, stop treatment and notify physician.

Answer to Question 2

C
The muscles and other tissues of the eye are sewn around the implant, holding it in place. The implant, therefore, is not visible. Modern implants are made of glass or plastic and are porous so that the tissues of the eye grow into the sphere. Like a healthy eye, this integrated implant moves as the companion eye moves. Cleansing with sterile saline or soap and water is done at intervals of up to a year on the basis of the ocularist's recommendations and patient preference.
