A nurse is collecting data from an old adult client. Which of the following should the nurse report to the provider
Yes, the answers you provided are correct:
1) The nurse should expect the client with open-angle glaucoma to experience loss of peripheral vision.
2) The nurse should expect the client with a possible cataract to report decreased color perception.
3) The nurse should speak slowly while facing the hearing-impaired child in order to communicate effectively.
4) The nurse's priority when assisting a client with vision loss is to describe the environment to the client.
5) The nurse should monitor the client's cardinal fields of vision as part of the plan of care for labyrinthitis.
Good job!
1) The correct answer is A. Loss of peripheral vision. To determine the correct answer, you would need to have knowledge about the common findings associated with open-angle glaucoma. Open-angle glaucoma is a chronic condition that typically affects peripheral vision first, leading to a gradual loss of vision over time. Headache, halos around lights, and discomfort in the eyes are not typically associated with open-angle glaucoma.
2) The correct answer is A. Decreased color perception. To determine the correct answer, you would need to have knowledge about the common manifestations of cataracts. A cataract is a clouding of the lens in the eye, which can cause a decrease in color perception due to the cloudiness obstructing the passage of light. Loss of peripheral vision, bright flashes of light, and eyestrain are not typically associated with cataracts.
3) The correct answer is D. Speak slowly while facing the child. To determine the correct answer, you would need to have knowledge about effective communication strategies for individuals who are hearing impaired. When communicating with a child who is hearing impaired, it is important to speak slowly and clearly while facing the child to allow them to lip-read and see facial expressions. Talking directly into the child's impaired ear, standing above the child's eye level when speaking, and speaking loudly are not effective communication strategies.
4) The correct answer is D. Describe the environment to the client. To determine the correct answer, you would need to prioritize actions based on the safety and well-being of a client with vision loss. When assisting a client with vision loss, the priority is to describe the environment to them to help them navigate and become familiar with their surroundings. Instructing the client to use the call light when preparing to ambulate, removing clutter from the client's room, and encouraging the client to feel the walls with her hands are all important actions, but describing the environment takes priority in this situation.
5) The correct answer is B. Monitor client's cardinal fields of vision. To determine the correct answer, you would need to have knowledge about appropriate interventions for a client with labyrinthitis. Labyrinthitis is inflammation of the inner ear, which can lead to dizziness and balance problems. Monitoring the client's cardinal fields of vision (ability to see in all directions without moving the head) helps assess their balance and coordination. Limiting fluid intake, encouraging ambulation, and ensuring the room is brightly lit are not specific interventions for labyrinthitis.
In summary, based on the information provided, all of the answers you provided are correct.
