What affects the focal point, leading to near- or far-sightedness?

1 answer:

3 0

Near sightedness is a condition whereby the eyeball is too long or cornea has excess curvature such that light entering the eye is focused in front of the retina rather on the retina itself.

The exact cause of nearsightedness is unknown but there are two factors that may be responsible for its development.

1. Visual stress

2. Heredity

Individuals who spend considerable time reading or working at a computer or engage in other types of intense close visual work may develop nearsightedness.

There is credible evidence that many people inherit nearsightedness or are at least predisposed to the condition, especially if both parents suffer from the condition.

Far sightedness (hyperopia) is a condition where the eye is shorter than normal, the cornea is not curved quite enough or the lens sits further back in the eye than is normal.

This condition can be inherited especially if both parents suffer from it.

The other cause is through diseases like diabetes or glaucoma.

Answer: A) "Let's discuss how we can meet our clients' needs."

Explanation:

Assertive behaviour is "Behavior that allows a person to act in his or her best interests, to stand up without undue anxiety and able to express his or her honest feeling comfortably.

This statement "A) Let's discuss how we can meet our clients' needs" is best suitable by the nurse as this statement justifies several characteristics of assertive behaviour including decision making in positive way, stay calm, honest communication, listen actively, and agree to disagree.

Other statement B, C, and D are not showing assertive behaviour as negative response ( statement "B"), panic ( statement "C"), and less problem-solving approach to conflict ( statement "D").

Hence, the correct option is A) "Let's discuss how we can meet our clients' needs."

: What is the importance of measuring and documenting vital signs for patients and the healthcare professionals that treat them?

Ganezh [65]

The importance of measuring and documenting vital signs for patients is because they are the baseline of health of that patient. It can tell a healthcare professional if the person has a trend of hypertension (high blood pressure) or tachycardia (increased heart rate). It can tell if someone is febrile which can tell if someone has an infection.

Knowing the baseline vitals will help diagnose and properly treat a patient. Without knowing what the baseline vitals of a patient is, it can be dangerous to the patient if a healthcare professional treats them. For example, if a patient is presenting with chest pain in relation to a heart attack, the healthcare provider will need a set of baseline vitals in order to give that patient nitroglycerin (a medication to open the vessels). The top number (systolic) of the blood pressure must be greater than 90mmHg. Without knowing the initial blood pressure of the patient and giving the nitroglycerin, the healthcare provider would risk dropping the blood pressure dangerously low and likely killing the patient.
