• B. Once the tissue has necrosed from high-pressure, it does not regenerate
• C. Glaucoma always leads to permanent blindness
• D. Once bacterial infection has caused damage, the tissue does not regenerate

Correct answer: B

This necrosis occurs due to the damage caused by increased intraocular pressure, which leads to irreversible damage to the optic nerve and retinal tissue. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not directly address the specific mechanism of irreversible vision loss in glaucoma, which is necrosis due to high pressure.

5. What device would be best to use for a client who is immobile?

• A. Standing assist device
• B. A mechanical lift
• C. Transfer board
• D. Gait belt

Correct answer: B

Rationale: A mechanical lift is the most suitable device for a client who is immobile as it provides safe and efficient assistance in moving the individual. A standing assist device is used for support during standing activities, not for transferring an immobile client. A transfer board is helpful for assisting a client in sliding from one surface to another but may not be the best option for someone who is completely immobile. A gait belt is used for providing support and stability during walking or transferring, which may not be effective for a client who is immobile and requires more comprehensive assistance.
