Free BCEN Certified Emergency Nurse (CEN) Practice Question
A patient presenting with a sudden onset of severe eye pain, blurred vision, and seeing halos around lights is likely experiencing a primary angle closure glaucoma attack.
The patient's symptoms of severe eye pain, blurred vision, and halo vision are classic signs of an acute primary angle closure glaucoma attack, where the drainage angle of the eye becomes blocked, leading to rapidly increased intraocular pressure. It's important to rapidly identify and refer for treatment to avoid irreversible vision damage.
