3. Client who requests a home health referral for dressing changes and eyedrop instillation

5. Client who requires an assessment for recent and sudden loss of sight

6. Client who requires preoperative teaching for laser trabeculoplasty

An experienced nurse who can provide particular details and specialized information on follow-up eye care and loss adjustment should be able to provide postoperative and preoperative instructions, provide home health referrals, and assess for requirements linked to loss of vision.

All nurses should be familiar with the fundamentals of putting an eye pad and shield and teaching the administration of eyedrops. In further detail, an ophthalmologist conducts eye surgery, diagnoses and treats all eye illnesses, and prescribes and fits eyeglasses and contact lenses to alleviate visual issues.

Numerous ophthalmologists are also engaged in scientific studies into the origins and treatments of eye conditions and visual problems.

Zolol [24]

Answer:

The answer to the question: Electrical impulses or action potentials (AP) cannot propagate across a synaptic cleft. Instead, neurotransmitters are used to communicate at the synapse, and re-restablish the AP in the post-synaptic cell, would be, true.

Explanation:

Essentially, although the CNS, PNS and ANS (Central Nervous System, Peripheral Nervous System and Autonomic Nervous System) are electrical systems, that use the electricity generated through action potentials, that in turn, are created by the exchange of electrically charged ions from within and without the neuronal cells, these electrical impulses do not pass the pre-synaptic, and post-synaptic cleft. Instead, once an AP has reached the terminal end of the pre-synaptic neuron, neurotransmitters are released by this one, into the cleft, which are then taken up by the receptors present in the post-synaptic neuron. Depending on the type of transmitter released, there will be an inhibitory or excitatory effect. Then, with the transmitter attached, the post-synaptic neuron will depolarize and a new AP will be generated in the post-synaptic neuron, which will carry on. Messages, thus are transmitted that way between neurons, and also, between the nervous system and the organs they influence.
