A client with a retinal detachment does not understand what happened to his eye and asks the nurse’s explanation. Which of the following would be the nurse’s best response to describe the pathology of retinal detachment
A. "The optic nerve is damaged when it is exposed to vitreous humor. "
B. "A tear in the retina permits the escape of vitreous humor from the eye. "
C. "The two layers of the retina separate, allowing fluid to enter between them. "
D. "Retinal injury produces inflammation and edema that increase intraoeular pressure. "
参考答案:C
解析:In retinal detachment, the two layers of the retina separate as a result of a small hole or tear, trauma, or degeneration. Vitreous humor seeps into the tear and separates the retinal layers.
