The nurse has taught the client about glaucoma. The nurse evaluates learning has occurred when the client makes which statement?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The client's statement that they must use eye drops as prescribed for the rest of their life shows an understanding of the chronic nature of glaucoma and the need for ongoing treatment. The other options are incorrect - increasing the dose of eye drops without physician approval can be harmful, stopping eye drops too soon can cause recurrence of glaucoma, and using eye drops only when eyes hurt does not address the need for continuous treatment to prevent further damage to vision.
