Instructions
Ms. Julia Jones, a 68-year old African American woman, has just been diagnosed with primary
open-angle glaucoma. Her ophthalmologist has explained the pathophysiology of the
disease to her, but is trying to select the best treatment option for her. You are the nurse
working with the ophthalmologist, and Ms. Jones has asked you about the eye drops the
doctor has recommended. Mrs. Jones's physician has recommended Combigan, one drop in
the right eye every 12 hours. Your client has never administered eye drops and she does
not know anything about the medication her ophthalmologist has prescribed. She is
interested in how the medication works, the side effects, how it is administered, and why it
is so important in the treatment of her glaucoma.
Develop a nursing care plan using template directly after these instructions to address Ms.
Julia Jones concerns.
Use at least two scholarly sources to support your care plan. Be sure to cite your sources in-
text and on a reference page using APA format.
