|100% Correct| Grade A- Nightingale
A nurse is caring for a patient who reports loss of peripheral vision that developed over time.
Which diagnostic tests would the nurse anticipate the patient to undergo?
Select all that apply.
Tonometry
Gonioscopy
Glare testing
IV angiography
Amsler grid test
Tonometry
The patient presents with a sign of glaucoma, which results from increased intraocular pressure.
Tonometry, or measurement of intraocular pressure, is important to diagnosing glaucoma.
Gonioscopy
The patient presents with a sign of glaucoma, which results from increased intraocular pressure
due to decreased drainage. Gonioscopy allows the examiner to view the irideocorneal angle to
evaluate whether drainage can occur.
Rationale for Incorrect:
Glare testing is a test used to evaluate cataracts, because it evaluates vision loss relating to light
scatter, as would be expected from an opacity of the lens. Gradual loss of peripheral vision is
not a clinical manifestation of cataracts.
IV angiography is a test used to diagnose age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Gradual loss
of peripheral vision is not a clinical manifestation of AMD.
The Amsler grid test is helpful in identifying the presence of macular degeneration. Gradual loss
of peripheral vision is not a clinical manifestation of macular degeneration.
, A nurse is counseling a patient about to undergo cataract surgery. The patient will have
cataracts removed from both eyes, but just the poorest eye will be operated on initially.
Which statement demonstrates that the patient understands the procedure?
“The surgery will allow the abnormal blood vessels to be sealed.”
“The eye with poorer vision is at greater risk for permanent damage.”
“Permanent damage in the poorer eye could be caused by increased IOP.”
“If a complication arises in the eye with poorest vision, I will still have some vision in the
better eye.”
“If a complication arises in the eye with poorest vision, I will still have some vision in the
better eye.”
Surgery must first be performed on the eye with lowest level of acuity because if surgery is
unsuccessful, the patient will have some vision left in the other eye.
The patient with acute angle-closure glaucoma is preparing for surgery. The nurse notes that
the patient consented for a lens removal procedure. How should the nurse proceed?
Administer topical apraclonidine drops
Administer the preoperative cholinergic agents
Contact the surgeon for revision of the consent form
Explain to the patient that the surgery will not provide a cure
Contact the surgeon for revision of the consent form
Either laser peripheral iridotomy or surgical iridectomy is the surgery of choice for acute angle-
closure glaucoma. Lens removal is a surgery to correct cataracts. The nurse identifies this error
and should consult the HCP to have the consent revised.
During an education session for a patient with a chronic visual sensory perception problem,
which information should the nurse ensure the patient knows?
Select all that apply.
Details of the treatment regimen
Long-term effects of the disease process
How to recognize emergency care needs
How to do regular self-eye examinations
That food preferences and nutritional habits can affect eyesight
