The nurse is at the community center speaking with adult people. To which comment by one of the participants during a discussion about glaucoma would the nurse give a supportive comment to reinforce correct information?
  1. “I have to sit at the side of the pool with the grandchildren since I can't swim with this eye problem.”
  2. “I usually avoid driving at night since lights sometimes seem to make things blur.”
  3. “I take half of the usual dose for my sinuses to maintain my blood pressure.”
  4. “I take extra fiber and drink lots of water to avoid getting constipated.”
Explanation
Answer - D - A comment by one of the participants during a discussion about glaucoma that a nurse would give a supportive comment to reinforce correct information is "I take extra fiber and drink lots of water to avoid getting constipated.” Any activity that involves straining should be avoided in patients with glaucoma. Such activities would increase intraocular pressure.
