A client has been diagnosed with primary glaucoma. Primary glaucoma refers to form of glaucoma that:
1. Has no relation to other ocular conditions.
2. Is the result of another preexisting ocular condition.
3. Is caused by a congenital anomaly.
4. Is not as serious as other forms of glaucoma.
Has no relation to other ocular conditions.
Rationale: Primary glaucoma infers that it has no relation to other ocular conditions, and secondary glaucoma is the result of another preexisting ocular condition. A congenital anomaly is a cause of secondary glaucoma. Glaucoma is always serious and can cause blindness because the increased intraocular pressure can cause optic nerve changes.
