Answer to Question 1

1. I must use my eye drops as prescribed for the rest of my life..

Rationale:
Glaucoma can be controlled but not cured; the client must use eye drops for the rest of his life. Glaucoma can be controlled, but it will not resolve, so the client cannot stop using the eye drops. Eye drops must be used continuously; most clients with glaucoma do not experience eye pain. Increasing the dosage of eye drops is only necessary if the ocular pressure is not controlled; this must be determined by the physician, not the client.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 2
