Free BCEN Certified Emergency Nurse (CEN) Practice Question
Immediate ophthalmologic consultation is indicated for a patient presenting with sudden, painless monocular vision loss, and a diagnosis of central retinal artery occlusion is suspected.
Immediate ophthalmologic consultation is crucial when central retinal artery occlusion is suspected because it is an ophthalmic emergency that can lead to irreversible vision loss if not treated promptly. Thrombolytic therapy, if indicated, should be initiated as soon as possible within the therapeutic window.
