Question 4 of 5
What action should the nurse take immediately after instilling the prescribed eyedrops into the patient9s eye?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct action after instilling eyedrops is to press gently on the inner canthus area to prevent systemic absorption through the nasolacrimal duct. This helps minimize side effects and maximize therapeutic effect. Choice B is incorrect as wiping the eyelid can cause contamination. Choice C is unnecessary and can lead to decreased vision. Choice D is incorrect as maintaining pressure on the lower eyelid can disrupt drug absorption and cause irritation. Pressing on the inner canthus is the correct technique to ensure optimal drug delivery and minimize side effects.
Question 5 of 5
Which area should the nurse address first when a client presents with chest pain?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The nurse should address the cardiac area first when a client presents with chest pain because cardiac issues, such as a heart attack, are life-threatening emergencies. Addressing cardiac concerns promptly is crucial to prevent further complications. Respiratory, gastrointestinal, and musculoskeletal issues may also cause chest pain, but they are typically less urgent than cardiac problems. It's important to rule out cardiac issues first before exploring other potential causes of chest pain to prioritize the client's safety and well-being.
