Which finding should the practical nurse (PN) instruct the postpartum client to report to the charge nurse?

Tell the client that the PN will verify that the dispensed medication is the valid prescription. Choice A rationale:

Explaining that the healthcare provider probably prescribed a different medication while the client is hospitalized (Choice A) may create confusion or concern for the client. It is essential to reassure the client and take appropriate action to address the discrepancy in the appearance of the medication.

Choice C rationale:

Explaining that the pharmacy often substitutes generic equivalents for more expensive brands (Choice C) is not applicable in this situation since the client is expressing concern about the appearance of the medication prescribed by the healthcare provider, not a substitution by the pharmacy.

Choice D rationale:

Telling the client that he is probably confused since being hospitalized tends to disorient clients (Choice D) is dismissive of the client's concerns. It is crucial to acknowledge the client's observation and address the issue professionally.

Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that damage the optic nerve and cause vision loss. It is often associated with increased intraocular pressure, which can compress the nerve fibers and reduce blood flow to the retina. The most common type of glaucoma, open-angle glaucoma, causes gradual loss of peripheral vision.

The other options are not correct because:

1. Macular edema is a condition that causes swelling and fluid accumulation in the macula, the central part of the retina that is responsible for sharp and detailed vision. It can cause blurred or distorted vision, but it does not affect the optic nerve or the peripheral vision.
2. Cataract is a condition that causes clouding of the lens, which is the transparent structure that focuses light onto the retina. It can cause blurred, dim, or yellowed vision, but it does not affect the optic nerve or the intraocular pressure.
3. Diabetic retinopathy is a complication of diabetes that damages the blood vessels in the retina and causes bleeding, leakage, or scarring. It can cause blurred, fluctuating, or darkened vision, but it does not affect the optic nerve or the intraocular pressure.
