A nurse is providing health education about the way the normal intraocular pressure (IOP) is maintained. The nurse should explain that normal IOP results from which of the following?

  C) A balance between production and drainage of aqueous humor
  D) Two-way interaction between the medulla oblongata and the eye

Question 2

A female patient has been diagnosed with tuberculosis and begun multiple-drug therapy. The woman has asked the nurse why it is necessary for her to take several different drugs instead of one single drug.

Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Normally, production and drainage of aqueous humor are approximately equal, and the intraocular pressure (IOP) is normal. IOP is not dependent of tear production, baroreceptors in the eye, or stimulation from the medulla.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Use of multiple drugs to treat TB is necessary to prevent the development of drug-resistant TB. This approach to treatment is not necessitated by delays in testing, questionable diagnostic results, or the need to hasten the course of treatment.

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.
