Question 1 of 5
A 50-year-old client is admitted with the diagnosis of open-angle glaucoma. Which of the following symptoms would the nurse expect the client to have?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Open-angle glaucoma is characterized by halos around objects due to increased intraocular pressure, not severe pain or headaches.
Question 2 of 5
Which ototoxic medication should the nurse recognize as potentially life altering or threatening to the client?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Aminoglycosides (e.g., gentamicin) are ototoxic, causing permanent hearing loss, which is life-altering. Calcium channel blockers, glucocorticoids, and loop diuretics are less ototoxic.
Question 3 of 5
How should a nurse walk a client who is blind?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Walking slightly ahead with the client's arm inside the nurse's arm provides guidance and safety for a blind client.

The client is postoperative retinal detachment surgery, and gas tamponade was used to flatten the retina. Which intervention should the nurse implement first?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Positioning as prescribed (e.g., face-down) is critical to maintain gas tamponade efficacy and retinal reattachment. Teaching, assessment, and follow-up are secondary.
