The nurse is caring for a client with angle-closure glaucoma. Which prescription should the nurse anticipate from the primary healthcare provider (PHCP)?
Correct answer
A
Rationale
Timolol, a beta-blocker, reduces intraocular pressure in angle-closure glaucoma by decreasing aqueous humor production. Hydroxyzine, phenylephrine, and imipramine are not used for this condition.
