Which of the following teaching items would be a priority in maintaining normal pressure range in the eye?
A) Increase fiber in the diet.
B) Avoid reading.
C) East small meals.
D) Treat allergy symptoms promptly.
A
Feedback:
Adding fiber to the diet will increase ease of bowel movements and prevent constipation and straining, which can inadvertently increase intraocular pressure. Eating small meals is insignificant in maintaining intraocular pressure. Avoid over-the-counter treatment of cold and allergy symptoms if contains cholinergic blockers. Reading is not significant in changing intraocular pressure, but eye strain should be avoided.
