Question 2 of 5
Which of the following findings indicates that the client should be referred to a registered dietician?
Correct Answer: A

B) is a general care practice but not relevant to the specific scenario. Applying hydrating lotion (
D) before treatment is not necessary for applying eyepatches and may interfere with the adherence of the patches.
