Question 5 of 5
The charge nurse observes a nurse performing interventions for a client who has just arrived in the post-anesthesia care unit following right cataract removal and intraocular lens implantation. Which intervention would require the charge nurse to intervene?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Encouraging the client to exercise with 20 lb weights one day post-operatively is inappropriate and requires the charge nurse to intervene. Strenuous activity can increase intraocular pressure and compromise the healing process after cataract surgery. The client should avoid heavy lifting and follow the post-operative care instructions provided by the healthcare team.
