Answer to Question 1

d

Answer to Question 2

Examples of guidelines for charting include recognizing the significance of charting, including the dietitian's full name and status when signing charts, being timely with charting, never charting for someone else, avoiding documenting procedures until after they have been completed, remembering that medical charts are legal documents and should be treated as such, using only black ink and writing legibly, using clear language while writing and avoiding unfamiliar abbreviations, and avoiding white space. Further, the clinician should document only information that has been observed with objective notes and avoid assumptions.

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.
