LPN Fundamentals Exam Questions
Question 1 of 5
Eyedrops should be administered in which anatomic location:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Eyedrops are administered into the lower conjunctival sac formed by pulling the lower eyelid down ensuring medication spreads across the eye evenly when the patient blinks. This maximizes absorption and minimizes runoff, critical for efficacy (e.g., glaucoma drops). The inner canthus (near the nose) risks drainage into the tear duct, reducing dose and potentially causing systemic effects. 'Other canthus' likely means outer canthus (lateral), less effective for retention, as it's not a sac. The upper conjunctival sac is harder to access, requiring awkward lid lifting, and less practical. The lower sac's anatomical suitability holding drops naturally makes it the standard site, ensuring therapeutic delivery and patient comfort, per ophthalmic administration protocols.
