A client's wound is being debrided by letting a wet-to-dry dressing that is packed into the wound dry. This type of debridement is called:
 
  1. autolytic debridement.
  2. enzymatic debridement.
  3. mechanical debridement.
  4. sharp debridement.

Question 2

A client is experiencing a loss of central vision but not a loss of peripheral vision. The nurse realizes the client should be evaluated for:
 
  1. detached retina syndrome.
  2. nystagmus.
  3. macular degeneration.
  4. conjunctivitis.

Question 3

A client tells the nurse that she sees a shadow that is slowing getting worse in her left eye. Which of the following should the nurse do?
 
  1. Instruct the client to return home to rest in bed.
  2. Encourage the client to continue with normal daily activities.
  3. Notify an ophthalmologist.
  4. Encourage fluids and normal saline eyedrops.

Question 4

A client is scheduled for a diagnostic test to assess the amount of electrical activity within each of the cerebral hemispheres. The nurse realizes that the diagnostic test this client will be having is a(n):
 
  1. myelogram.
  2. electroencephalogram.
  3. transcranial Doppler sonogram.
  4. electromyogram.

Question 5

A client is experiencing little flashes of lights and things floating in the visual field. The nurse suspects:
 
  1. cataracts.
  2. glaucoma.
  3. conjunctivitis.
  4. retinal detachment.

The answer to question 1  3
Mechanical debridement makes use of gauze dressing to remove necrotic or devitalized tissue from wounds. Autolytic debridement makes use of the normal phagocytic action of the macrophages and leukocytes present in the wound. Enzymatic debridement is accomplished by using a chemical debriding agent. Sharp debridement is cutting away necrotic tissue from the wound.

The answer to question 2  3
Macular degeneration is a deterioration of part of the retina, causing loss of central vision but not affecting peripheral vision. The loss of central vision is not typically seen in a detached retina, nystagmus, or conjunctivitis.

The answer to question 3  3
The nurse should notify an ophthalmologist with the client's symptoms. The onset of a shadow in the field of vision that will not dissipate is an indication of a detached retina. Retinal detachments rarely self-repair, and the client will need surgery. The nurse should not instruct the client to return home to rest in bed. The client should not be encouraged to continue with normal daily activities. Fluids and saline eyedrops will not help a detached retina.

The answer to question 4  2
An electroencephalogram or EEG measures the electrical activity of the cerebral hemispheres. A myelogram is an invasive procedure used to visualize obstructions, compression, or herniated intervertebral discs. A transcranial Doppler sonogram measures the velocities of intracranial brain vessels. The electromyogram measures the electrical activity of the peripheral nerves.

The answer to question 5  4
Retinal detachment is clinically manifested by flashes and floaters in the visual field. Flashes of light and floaters are not associated with cataracts, glaucoma, or conjunctivitis.
