Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Compensating for vision loss for the next several weeks. This is the priority subject for discharge education because vision loss is a common outcome post vitreoretinal procedure. The patient needs to understand how to adapt to this temporary impairment, such as using assistive devices and modifying their environment. A: Risk factors for postoperative CMV is not the priority as it is not a common concern in this situation. C: Non-pharmacologic pain management is important but not the priority compared to vision loss. D: Signs and symptoms of increased intraocular pressure are important but not as crucial as managing vision loss.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Asthma. Atopic dermatitis is associated with a heightened immune response and inflammation, which can predispose individuals to developing asthma. Both conditions involve an overactive immune response and can coexist in patients due to shared genetic and environmental factors. Asthma commonly presents alongside atopic dermatitis in individuals with atopic tendencies. Bronchitis (choice A) is a respiratory condition caused by inflammation of the bronchial tubes and is not directly linked to atopic dermatitis. Systemic lupus erythematosus (choice B) and rheumatoid arthritis (choice C) are autoimmune diseases that primarily affect the joints and other organs, but they are not typically associated with atopic dermatitis.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men. This group currently has the highest risk of contracting HIV due to various factors such as higher prevalence within this population, risky sexual behaviors, and limited access to healthcare services. Men who have sex with men have been disproportionately affected by HIV/AIDS since the beginning of the epidemic. Recreational drug users and blood transfusion recipients have lower overall risk compared to men who have sex with men. Health care providers, although at risk of occupational exposure, have lower risk compared to the other groups mentioned.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Incentives to palliative care. Palliative care focuses on improving the quality of life for patients with serious illnesses by addressing their physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. As the American population ages, the emphasis on palliative care in long-term care facilities is crucial. Regulations emphasizing incentives for palliative care ensure that patients receive appropriate symptom management, comfort care, and support to enhance their overall well-being. Choice A: Ongoing acute care is not the correct answer because palliative care is different from acute care, which focuses on treating the underlying medical condition. Choice B: Restorative measures are not the correct answer as palliative care aims to improve quality of life rather than focusing on restoring physical function. Choice C: Mobility and socialization are important aspects of care in long-term facilities, but palliative care goes beyond these aspects to provide holistic support for patients facing serious illnesses.

D: Techniques for restoring nerve function - Important for recovery but not a primary focus of discharge education.
