The nurse is teaching the client with open-angle glaucoma. Which instruction should the nurse include?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
Glaucoma is a chronic progressive disease; annual eye examinations should be completed by an eye specialist physician. Fluid restriction and omega-3 fatty acids do not affect intraocular pressure. Elevated intraocular pressure cannot be felt, and timolol maleate should be used as prescribed.
