Question 1 of 5
The nurse is caring for a neonate with jaundice receiving phototherapy. Which action is most important?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Covering the neonate's eyes protects them from retinal damage due to phototherapy light exposure.
Question 2 of 5
A client who has glaucoma has been prescribed timolol (Timoptic) eyedrops. Which of the following instructions should the nurse give the client about the administration of the eyedrops?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Timolol eyedrops may cause transient eye discomfort, such as stinging or burning, which is a common side effect. Instilling drops only when eyes are irritated is incorrect, as timolol requires regular dosing. Refrigeration is not necessary, and reevaluation timing depends on the physician's plan, not a fixed month.

Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A 1,000-calorie daily deficit equals 7,000 calories per week. Since 3,500 calories approximate one pound of fat, the client would lose about 2 pounds per week.
