The most effective health-promotion measure related to glaucoma that the nurse could teach clients is which of the following
A. Appropriate blood pressure control.
B. Prompt treatment of all eye infections.
C. Avoidance of extended-wear contact lenses by older people.
D. Annual intraocular pressure measurements for people older than 40 years.
参考答案：D
解析：The most effective health-promotion measure associated with glaucoma is annual intraocular pressure measurements after 40 years of age. People who are at risk for developing glaucoma, such as those with diabetes or hypertension, African Americans, and people with a family history of glaucoma, should have their intraocular pressure checked annually after 35 years of age. Glaucoma is insidious, basically asymptomatic, and must be diagnosed before the client becomes aware of any vision changes.
