Risk for Injury - Nursing Diagnosis and Interventions for Glaucoma

 Nursing Diagnosis and Interventions for Glaucoma

Risk for Injury


Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases which result in damage to the optic nerve (or retina) and cause vision loss. The most common type is open-angle (wide angle, chronic simple) glaucoma, in which the drainage angle for fluid within the eye remains open, with less common types including closed-angle (narrow angle, acute congestive) glaucoma and normal-tension glaucoma. Open-angle glaucoma develops slowly over time and there is no pain. Peripheral vision may begin to decrease, followed by central vision, resulting in blindness if not treated. Closed-angle glaucoma can present gradually or suddenly. The sudden presentation may involve severe eye pain, blurred vision, mid-dilated pupil, redness of the eye, and nausea. Vision loss from glaucoma, once it has occurred, is permanent. Eyes affected by glaucoma are referred to as being glaucomatous.

  • Changes in clotting factors
  • Thrombocytopenia
  • Sickle cell
  • thalassemia,
  • decrease in Hb,
  • Immune doesn't work.
  • Biochemistry, regulatory functions (e.g. sensory dysfunction)
  • Dough dysfunction
  • Effector dysfunction
  • Tissue hypoxia
  • Age development (physiological, psychosocial)
  • Physical (example: skin damage/not intact, related to mobility)


Nursing Interventions :

Goals / Outcome Criteria: 

NOC :
