Rationale 1: Dull to sharp eye pain is more typical of this condition.
Rationale 2: Headaches are common with acute intraocular pressure increase.
Rationale 3: Bloodshot eyes are a typical assessment finding with IOP.
Rationale 4: Ocular pain may be so severe that it causes vomiting.
Rationale 5: Bruising is not a common finding associated with IOP.
Global Rationale: Headaches are common with acute intraocular pressure increase. Bloodshot eyes are a typical assessment finding with IOP. Ocular pain may be so severe that it causes vomiting. Dull to sharp eye pain is more typical of this condition. Bruising is not a common finding associated with IOP.
