Question 1 of 5
A nurse is administering multiple types of ophthalmic drops to a client. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Wait 5 minutes between the administration of each medication. This is important to prevent dilution or washout of the first medication by the second one. Administering multiple drops simultaneously can lead to reduced effectiveness of both medications. Waiting between administrations allows each medication to be absorbed properly.
-
Choice B is incorrect because asking the client to close their eyes tightly after instillation may not be necessary for all types of ophthalmic drops.
-
Choice C is incorrect as the distance of holding the dropper is not crucial for the administration of the drops.
-
Choice D is incorrect as massaging the client's eyelids after instillation is not a standard practice and may not be safe for all types of ophthalmic medications.
