Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The statement "My race doesn't have anything to do with this diagnosis" is incorrect because African Americans are at a higher risk for developing glaucoma compared to other races. Therefore, further education is necessary to ensure the client understands the impact of their race on their diagnosis. The other statements indicate some understanding of the condition, such as increased pressure causing headaches and halos around lights being associated with glaucoma, or lack of knowledge about the association between pupil size and glaucoma.
