A client asks the nurse how dipivefrin (Propine) will decrease
their IOP. Which information should the nurse provide?
The prescription will dilate the pupil increasing the outflow of
the aqueous humor.
The prescription will lower IOP by enhancing the outflow of
aqueous humor.
The prescription will decrease the production of aqueous humor.
The prescriptions act by decreasing the production of aqueous
humor by the ciliary body. Correct Answers The prescription
will dilate the pupil increasing the outflow of the aqueous humor
Dipivefrin is a nonselective sympathomimetic that activates the
sympathetic nervous system to produce mydriasis (pupil
dilation), which increases the outflow of aqueous humor,
resulting in a lower IOP. Prostaglandin analogs lower IOP by
enhancing the outflow of aqueous humor.
Alpha2-adrenergic
agonists decrease the production of aqueous humor. Beta-
adrenergic agonists act by decreasing the production of aqueous
humor by the ciliary body.

Topical corticosteroids (glucocorticoids) are the most effective
treatment for controlling the inflammation and itching of

pain. Topical glucocorticoids can have serious adverse effects.
The effects are based on the amount, frequency of application,
and length of use. Topical glucocorticoids do not cure
dermatitis.
