Question 1 of 5

A nurse is planning care for a client who has a detached retina and is preoperative for a surgical repair. The nurse should prepare to administer which of the following medications?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Phenylephrine. In a client with a detached retina preoperative for surgical repair, the goal is to constrict the pupil and reduce intraocular pressure. Phenylephrine is a sympathomimetic agent that causes pupillary dilation and vasoconstriction, which helps stabilize the detached retina. Timolol (
A) is a beta-blocker used to reduce intraocular pressure in conditions like glaucoma. Pilocarpine (
B) is a miotic agent that constricts the pupil and increases drainage of aqueous humor; it is contraindicated in a detached retina. Latanoprost (
C) is a prostaglandin analog that also reduces intraocular pressure but is not suitable for a detached retina.
