What are the causes of cataracts?

Correct! Wrong!

The lens of the eye is normally clear. It is just like the lens on a camera, focusing light as it passes to the back of the eye. This allows the lens to focus on an object, whether it is close or far away. The lens of the eye does not change until a person is around the age of 45. As a person ages, proteins in the lens begin to break down. As a result, the lens becomes cloudy. What the eye sees may appear blurry. This eye condition is known as a cataract.In many cases, the cause of cataract is unknown. The following are the factors that may speed up cataract formation:

  • Old age
  • Eye injury
  • Family history of cataracts
  • Eye inflammation
  • Diabetes
  • Long-term use of oral corticosteroids or certain other medicines
  • Radiation exposure
  • Smoking
  • Surgery for another eye problem
  • Too much exposure to ultraviolet light

What are the symptoms of cataracts?

Correct! Wrong!

The main symptom is a little blurring of the vision. An affected person feels like looking through a cloudy piece of glass. Cataracts develop slowly and painlessly. Vision in the affected eye slowly gets worse.Cataracts lead to decreased vision even in daylight. A cataract can occur in either or both eyes.Most people with cataracts have similar changes in both eyes, though one eye may be worse than the other. Often there are only mild vision changes.

The following are the common symptoms:

  • A hazy and blurred vision
  • Mild clouding of the lens often occurs after age 60. But it may not cause any vision problems.
  • By age 75, most people have cataracts that affect their vision.

Cataracts develops suddenly.

Correct! Wrong!

Cataracts develop slowly and painlessly. An affected person feels like looking through a cloudy piece of glass. Vision in the affected eye slowly gets worse.Cataracts lead to decreased vision even in daylight.

What is a cataract?

Correct! Wrong!

A cataract is the clouding of the lens in the eye. This natural lens lies behind the iris and pupil. It blurs your vision. Cataracts are very common in older people.

What do people with cataracts experience while seeing?

Correct! Wrong!

People with cataracts experience the following problems while seeing:

  • Sensitivity to glare
  • Cloudy, fuzzy, foggy, or filmy vision
  • Difficulty seeing at night or in dim light
  • Double vision
  • Loss of color intensity
  • Problems seeing shapes against a background
  • Problem recognizing the difference between shades of colors
  • Seeing halos around lights
  • Frequent changes in eyeglass prescriptions

The only treatment for cataracts is surgery.

Correct! Wrong!

The only treatment for a cataract is surgery to remove it. Surgery is usually not necessary if a cataract is not making it hard for you to see. The eye doctor may recommend the following treatment for early cataract:

  • Change in eyeglass prescription
  • Better lighting
  • Magnifying lenses
  • Sunglasses
  • Surgery is usually recommended when you cannot perform normal activities such as driving, reading, or looking at computer or video screens, even with glasses.

Cataracts can occur in both eyes.

Correct! Wrong!

A cataract can occur in either one eye or both eyes. Most people with cataracts have similar changes in both eyes, though one eye may be worse than the other. Often there are only mild vision changes.

Cataracts is diagnosed by ________

Correct! Wrong!

An eye doctor will perform a standard eye exam as well as a slit-lamp examination to diagnose cataracts. When there is no clear diagnosis of a cataract, other tests may be done to rule out other causes of poor vision.

What symptoms occur when cardiac arrest happens?

Correct! Wrong!

Most people don’t experience any symptoms of cardiac arrest until it happens.The following are common symptoms when cardiac arrest happens:

  • Sudden loss of consciousness (a person falls to the floor or slumps down if sitting)
  • No pulse
  • No breathing

Heart attack cannot cause cardiac arrest

Correct! Wrong!

Sometimes a heart attack can cause a cardiac arrest.

What is the treatment if a person survives cardiac arrest?

Correct! Wrong!

If a person survives cardiac arrest, he/she will be admitted to a hospital for treatment. The doctor may treat the person with certain medicines, procedures, or surgery depending on what caused the cardiac arrest. The doctor may also place an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) under your skin near your chest. This device monitors the heartbeat and gives the heart an electric shock if it detects an abnormal heart rhythm.

Cardiac Arrest happens when _________

Correct! Wrong!

A cardiac arrest happens when the heart suddenly stops beating. When this happens, blood flow to the brain and the rest of the body also stops. Cardiac arrest is a medical emergency.

What causes cardiac arrest?

Correct! Wrong!

Cardiac arrest is caused by one of the following problems with the heart's electrical system:

  • Ventricular fibrillation (VF). When VF occurs, the lower chambers in the heart quiver instead of beating regularly. The heart cannot pump blood, which results in cardiac arrest. This can happen without any cause or as a result of another condition.
  • Heart block. This occurs when the electrical signal is slowed or stopped as it moves through the heart.

Other heart problems can also lead to cardiac arrest

Correct! Wrong!

The following problems may lead to cardiac arrest:

  • Coronary heart disease (CHD). CHD can clog the arteries in your heart, so the blood cannot flow smoothly. Over time, this can put a strain on your heart's muscle and electrical system.
  • Heart attack. A prior heart attack can create scar tissue that can lead to VF and cardiac arrest.
  • Heart problems, such as congenital heart disease, heart valve problems, heart rhythm problems, and an enlarged heart can also lead to cardiac arrest.
  • Abnormal levels of potassium or magnesium. These minerals help your heart's electrical system work. Abnormally high or low levels can cause cardiac arrest.
  • Anything that causes a severe stress on your body can lead to cardiac arrest. This can include trauma, electrical shock, or major blood loss.
  • Using certain recreational drugs, such as cocaine or amphetamines increases your risk of cardiac arrest.
  • Certain medicines can increase the likelihood of abnormal heart rhythms.

    • Which of the following is not a health problem that occurs due to a cardiac arrest?

    Correct! Wrong!

    Cardiac arrest can cause the following health problems:

    • Brain injury
    • Heart problems
    • Lung conditions
    • Infection

    Sometimes, there are symptoms before a cardiac arrest

    Correct! Wrong!

    Most people don’t experience any symptoms of cardiac arrest until it happens.Sometimes, some of the following symptoms appear about an hour before cardiac arrest:

    • A racing heart
    • Chest pain
    • Dizziness
    • Shortness of breath
    • Nausea or vomiting

    Cardiac arrest can kill a person

    Correct! Wrong!

    Cardiac arrest is a medical emergency. If it is not treated within a few minutes, cardiac arrest most often causes death. Most people don’t survive cardiac arrest. If a person have had a cardiac arrest and survived, he/she is at high risk for having another one.

    Emergency treatment for cardiac arrest includes……

    Correct! Wrong!

    Cardiac arrest is an emergency, which needs to be treated right away. The following treatment is given to get the heart started again:

    • Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). This is often the first type of treatment for cardiac arrest. It can be done by anyone who has been trained in CPR. It can help keep oxygen flowing in the body until emergency care arrives.
    • Defibrillation. This is the most important treatment for cardiac arrest. It is performed using a medical device that gives an electrical shock to the heart. The shock can get the heart beating normally again. This treatment works best when given within a few minutes.

    Earache is treated by antiviral medicines.

    Correct! Wrong!

    The doctor will prescribe oral antibiotics or eardrops if the cause of earache is ear infection. Sometimes, the doctor may prescribe both. It is important to finish the entire course of prescribed medicines to make sure that the infection clears up completely.

    The doctor will treat TMJ, sinus infections, and others problems that are causing the earaches. This will alleviate the earache.

    We can prevent earaches by ….......

    Correct! Wrong!

    The doctor may recommend the following steps to help prevent earaches in future:

    • Avoid smoking near children. Secondhand smoke is a major cause of ear infections in children.
    • Prevent outer ear infections by not putting objects in the ear.
    • Dry the ears well after bathing or swimming.
    • Take steps to control allergies. Try to avoid allergy triggers.
    • Try a steroid nasal spray to help reduce ear infections. (However, over-the-counter antihistamines and decongestants DO NOT prevent ear infections.)

    Several home care measures can be taken to help earache.

    Correct! Wrong!

    The doctor may recommend the following steps to help an earache:

    • Place a cold pack or cold wet washcloth on the outer ear for 20 minutes to reduce pain.
    • Chewing may help relieve the pain and pressure of an ear infection. (Gum can be a choking hazard for young children.)
    • Resting in an upright position instead of lying down can reduce pressure in the middle ear.
    • Over-the-counter ear drops can be used to relieve pain, as long as the eardrum has not ruptured.
    • Over-the-counter pain relievers, such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen, can provide relief for children and adults with an earache. (DO NOT give aspirin to children.)c

    Which one of the following tests is done to diagnose earache?

    Correct! Wrong!

    The doctor will do a physical exam and look at the ear, nose, and throat areas. The doctor will also review the symptoms. Pain, tenderness, or redness of the mastoid bone behind the ear on the skull is often a sign of a serious infection.

    Earache is mostly caused by…......

    Correct! Wrong!

    Mostly, earache can be caused by injury, irritation in the ear, infection, or referred pain. Referred pain is pain originated elsewhere, such as jaw or teeth, but felt in the ear. Blockage of the eustachian tube may lead to pressure behind the eardrum or an infection and cause earache.

    Earache in children and infants may be due to......

    Correct! Wrong!

    Earache in childrenand infants may be due to infection. The following are the other possible causes in children and infants:

    • Ear canal irritation from cotton-tipped swabs
    • Soap or shampoo staying in the ear

    There are several other factors that can cause earache.

    • Object stuck in the ear or buildup of ear wax
    • Hole in the eardrum
    • Sinus infection
    • Sore throat
    • Temporomandibular joint syndrome (TMJ)
    • Tooth infection

    Earache is rare, occurs mostly in adults, and is a serious problem.

    Correct! Wrong!

    Earache is common, particularly in children. Usually, it is not a sign of anything serious, but it can be painful.

    Wax is removed by…......

    Correct! Wrong!

    If the cause of earache is buildup of wax, the doctor may give wax-softening eardrops. These eardrops facilitate the wax to fall out on its own. Your doctor may also use ear lavage or a suction device to remove the wax.

    Which is not a symptom of earache in children and infants?

    Correct! Wrong!

    The following are the symptoms of an ear infection in children and infants:

    • Ear pain
