Question 1 of 5
A nurse at an ophthalmology clinic is providing teaching to a client who has open-angle glaucoma and a new treatment regimen of timolol and pilocarpine eye drops. Which of the following instructions should the nurse provide?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Administer the medications 5 minutes apart. Timolol and pilocarpine are both used to treat glaucoma but work differently. Timolol is a beta-blocker that reduces intraocular pressure while pilocarpine constricts the pupil to improve drainage. Administering them 5 minutes apart prevents one medication from washing out the other.
Choice B is incorrect as pressure on the conjunctival sac is not necessary.
Choice C is incorrect as contact lenses should be removed before administering eye drops.
Choice D is incorrect as touching the dropper tip to the eye can lead to infections.
