Question 1 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who has open-angle glaucoma. Which of the following symptoms should the nurse expect the patient to report?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Gradual loss of peripheral vision. In open-angle glaucoma, the drainage angle of the eye becomes blocked over time, leading to increased intraocular pressure and damage to the optic nerve. This results in a gradual loss of peripheral vision.
Choice B, gradual loss of central vision, is more characteristic of macular degeneration.
Choice C, sudden headache and nausea, is more indicative of acute angle-closure glaucoma.
Choice D, cloudy blurred vision, is not typically associated with open-angle glaucoma.
