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: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Administer the medications 5 mm apart. This is because administering eye drops 5 mm apart helps to ensure proper absorption and distribution of the medications within the eye. Placing the drops too close together can lead to dilution and reduced effectiveness of the medications. Option A is incorrect as touching the tip of the dropper to the sclera can introduce bacteria and increase the risk of infection. Option B is incorrect as holding pressure on the conjunctiva sac after application is not necessary and may lead to decreased absorption. Option D is incorrect as contact lenses should be removed before administering eye drops to prevent interference with absorption.
