Question 1 of 5
The nurse administered phenylephrine eye drops to the client before performing an ophthalmoscopic eye examination. Which assessment finding should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A: Tremors are a side effect if phenylephrine is absorbed systemically. B: Because phenylephrine absorbed systemically is a vasoconstrictor, hypertension (not hypotension) can occur as a side effect. C: Miosis is pupil constriction, not an effect of phenylephrine. D: Phenylephrine (NeoSynephrine), an adrenergic agonist, produces pupil dilation (mydriasis) by activating alpha1-adrenergic receptors on the dilator muscles of the iris.
