Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
The nurse should be aware that temporary blurring of vision is one of the early symptoms of wide-angle glaucoma. The nurse should understand that central blindness and halos around lights are late signs of wide-angle glaucoma. Flashers and floaters are characteristic features of a detached retina, not of wide-angle glaucoma.
