- B. "I believe you can overcome this because I have seen how strong you are."?

Correct answer: A
Rationale:
3. The nurse is assessing a client who had a cast placed 4 hours ago. What assessment finding is cause for concern?
- A. The nurse assesses capillary refill of 2 seconds
- B. The nurse cannot insert one finger between the cast and the skin
- C. The nurse finds 2+ pulses distal from the cast
- D. The nurse does not observe any drainage

4. A client is diagnosed with glaucoma. The provider needs to determine if it is open-angle glaucoma or closed-angle glaucoma. What test does the nurse anticipate?
- A. Ultrasonic imaging
- B. Gonioscopy
- C. Corneal staining
- D. Electroretinography
Correct answer: B
Rationale: Gonioscopy is the appropriate test to anticipate in this scenario. It is used to distinguish between open-angle and closed-angle glaucoma by examining the angle where the iris meets the cornea. Choice A, ultrasonic imaging, is not typically used to differentiate between these types of glaucoma. Choice C, corneal staining, is used to detect corneal abrasions and defects, not to differentiate between types of glaucoma. Choice D, electroretinography, is a test that measures the electrical responses of various cell types in the retina and is not specific to differentiating between open-angle and closed-angle glaucoma.

- A. Padding hard surfaces
- B. Have client sit in wheelchair as much as possible
