Answer to Question 1

2
Surgical treatment for cataracts begins when vision is sufficiently impaired. The lens is removed and the replacement artificial intraocular lens is put in place. Cataracts cannot be treated with medication alone. Cryopexy and phototherapy are not used to treat cataracts.

Answer to Question 2

2
The assessment finding of incomprehensible sounds would be documented within the verbal response section of the Glasgow Coma Scale. Eye opening would assess if the client opens the eyes in response to stimuli. Best motor response would assess the stimuli needed to have the client move an extremity or body part. Mentation is not a category within the Glasgow Coma Scale.
