A client is diagnosed with strabismus. Which of the following will
the client most likely experience with this disorder?
1. Nystagmus
2. Diplopia
3. Aphakic vision
4. Ptosis - correct answer -2
Diplopia, or double vision, is the primary symptom of strabismus.
Nystagmus is a disorder that causes involuntarily rhythmic
movements in the eye. Aphakic vision occurs when the lens of the
eye is removed. Ptosis is drooping of the eyelid.
A client is experiencing a gradual blurring of vision in both eyes
not associated with any pain. The nurse suspects the client is
experiencing:
1. glaucoma.
2. cataracts.
3. macular degeneration.
4. retinal detachment. - correct answer -2
, Page | 2
Cataracts occur as the opacity of the lens becomes cloudy,
blurring the vision. It occurs in both eyes but is usually worse in
one eye. Gradual eye blurring is not associated with glaucoma,
macular degeneration, or retinal detachment.
The nurse should instruct a client, diagnosed with glaucoma, that
the purpose of medication is to: 1. help dry up excess secretions.
2. lower the intraocular pressure.
3. strengthen the muscles of the eye.
4. improve the vision in the eye. - correct answer -2
Glaucoma is a disease that relates to the increase of intraocular
pressure. The medication given will decrease this intraocular
pressure. Medication for glaucoma is not used to help dry up
excess
secretions, strengthen the eye muscles, or improve vision.
After surgery to remove a cataract, which of the following should
the nurse instruct the client? 1. Be sure to follow the schedule for
the prescribed eyedrop medication.
2. Sleep on the right side to promote drainage.
3. It is okay to rub the eye because the surgery was on the inside.
4. This is an outpatient procedure, and there are no instructions
for the patient. - correct answer -1
, Page | 3
Client education is extremely important in the aftercare of cataract
surgery. There is a need to emphasize the postoperative care of
eyedrop instillation. The client should not place any pressure near
or on the eye. Postoperative instructions are highly important for
the client having an outpatient surgical procedure.
A tonometry test has been performed with a client and the results
are 25 mmHg. The nurse know that:
1. the reading is low and there is no problem.
2. the reading is normal and nothing needs to be done at this
time.
3. the results are high and follow-up readings and tests are
needed.
4. the results are high and there is no cure to bring the pressure
down. - correct answer -3
Several reading need to be taken throughout the day to establish
the highest reading to be the treated
pressure. Normal intraocular pressure ranges from 12 to 16
mmHg. The reading of 25 mmHg is not low or normal. Medication
can be prescribed to reduce the pressure.
A client has been diagnosed with cataracts. The nurse realizes
that the only treatment for this
disorder is?
, Page | 4
1. Medical management with eyedrops
2. Surgical removal of the lens
3. Cryopexy
4. Phototherapy - correct answer -2
Surgical treatment for cataracts begins when vision is sufficiently
impaired. The lens is removed and
the replacement artificial intraocular lens is put in place. Cataracts
cannot be treated with medication alone. Cryopexy and
phototherapy are not used to treat cataracts.
Which of the following should the nurse assess in a client
diagnosed with open-angle glaucoma? 1. Degree of lost vision
2. Severity of headaches
3. Amount of blurred vision
4. Date of onset - correct answer -1
Open-angle glaucoma is characterized by a gradual increase in
pressure and a gradual loss of vision. Closed-angle glaucoma
presents with a sudden onset causing headache, blurred vision,
and eye pain.
A client is experiencing little flashes of lights and things floating in
the visual field. The nurse suspects:
1. cataracts.
