A client does not understand why vision loss due to glaucoma is irreversible. What is the best explanation?
- A. Once bacterial infection has caused damage, the tissue does not regenerate.
- B. Once retinal detachment occurs, it does not return to its normal state.
- C. Too many nerve fibers have become ischemic and died, so vision loss is permanent.
- D. Glaucoma always leads to permanent blindness.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C. In glaucoma, the optic nerve damage due to high intraocular pressure leads to permanent vision loss because the nerve fibers do not regenerate. Choice A is incorrect as it discusses bacterial infection, not relevant to glaucoma. Choice B is incorrect because it refers to retinal detachment, not glaucoma. Choice D is incorrect because not all glaucoma cases lead to permanent blindness; vision loss can be prevented or slowed with treatment.

Why is a client with osteoporosis prone to fractures?
- A. The client has bone spurs that lead to fractures
- B. The client has increased bone density
- C. The client has porous bones
- D. The client is not prone to fractures
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C. Osteoporosis is characterized by porous, weak bones due to decreased bone density. This porous nature of bones in osteoporosis makes them more prone to fractures. Choice A is incorrect because bone spurs do not lead to fractures in osteoporosis; they are bony outgrowths unrelated to osteoporosis. Choice B is incorrect as osteoporosis is associated with decreased, not increased, bone density. Choice D is incorrect as individuals with osteoporosis are indeed prone to fractures due to weakened bones.
