The nurse is assisting with tonometry on a patient at the ophthalmologist's office. The results indicate the patient's reading to be 17 mm Hg. The nurse interprets this result as IOP.

a) Encourage increased fluid intake: In acute glomerulonephritis, fluid retention is common due to kidney dysfunction, so increasing fluid intake can exacerbate symptoms like edema and hypertension.
b) Encourage frequent ambulation: While ambulation is important for overall health, excessive activity may worsen symptoms such as fatigue or edema in clients with acute glomerulonephritis. Rest and limited activity are often recommended initially.
c) Obtain weekly weight: For a client with acute glomerulonephritis, weight monitoring should ideally be done daily. This allows for more precise tracking of fluid balance and early detection of fluid retention or weight gain, which could indicate worsening of the condition.
d) Place the client on a low-sodium diet: A low-sodium diet helps reduce fluid retention and lower blood pressure, which are important in managing acute glomerulonephritis and preventing complications such as edema or hypertension.

a) "Open-angle glaucoma is the kind that develops slowly." This statement is accurate, as open-angle glaucoma progresses gradually without noticeable symptoms, leading to irreversible damage over time.
b) "Closed-angle glaucoma is the one that suddenly develops." Closed-angle glaucoma is typically acute and presents suddenly with symptoms like severe eye pain, nausea, and vomiting.
c) "Glaucoma can be cured by taking eye drops for 2 weeks." Glaucoma is a chronic condition that cannot be cured by eye drops, and long-term management with medication or surgical intervention is required to control intraocular pressure.
d) "Glaucoma is an eye disorder that develops because the pressure inside your eyeball is too high." Glaucoma is primarily caused by increased intraocular pressure, which can damage the optic nerve.
