1. how is glaucoma often tested? *

with eye drops
by artificial eye membranes
with special eyeglasses
by measuring the amount of light in the room (dark)

Explanation:

• For question 38: Hypertension is the medical term for high blood - pressure. Angina pectoris is chest pain due to reduced blood flow to the heart, arteriosclerosis is hardening of the arteries, and nitroglycerin is a medication.
• For question 39: In congestive heart failure (CHF), patients may take diuretic medications which make them urinate more often to reduce fluid buildup. The other statements are incorrect. Sodium - restricted diets are often recommended for CHF patients, not high - sodium diets, and nursing assistants (NAs) do not administer nitroglycerin.
• For question 40: Glaucoma is often treated with eye drops to lower intraocular pressure. Artificial eye membranes are not used for glaucoma treatment, and special eyeglasses are not the main treatment. Reducing the amount of light in the room is not a treatment for glaucoma.

Answer:

1. D. Hypertension
2. A. Residents may take medication that makes them urinate more often.
3. A. With eye drops
