  3. Your glasses will help you to improve your eyes' ability to focus and reduce your blurred vision.

Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Myopia is the inability to see objects in the distance. Hyperopia is the inability to see objects at close range. Astigmatism causes blurred or double vision when the eyes attempt to focus. Presbyopia causes the client to experience difficulty focusing on items that are at close range. Presbyopia affects people who are over 45 years old.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
The nurse should always begin with the lens set to the 0 diopter. The nurse should prepare to assess the client's eye with an ophthalmoscope by examining the client's right eye with the nurse's right eye. The nurse should advance the ophthalmoscope only until it almost touches the client's eyelashes. The cornea contains many nerve endings and this would be painful for the client. The red reflex is seen as light reflects off of the client's retina, not his lens.

Hypertension is a silent killer because it is deadly and has no significant early symptoms. The danger from hypertension is the extra load on the heart, which can lead to hypertensive heart disease and kidney damage.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
