Correct Answer is C
Explanation
Choice A rationale
Applying a non-pressure patch to the affected eye can help protect the eye from further irritation or injury. However, it does not address the underlying issue of purulent drainage, which could indicate an infection that requires immediate medical attention.
Choice B rationale
Cleaning the eye from inner to outer canthus is a standard practice to prevent the spread of infection. However, in this case, the presence of purulent drainage suggests a possible infection that needs to be evaluated by a surgeon.
Choice C rationale
Notifying the surgeon is the priority action because purulent drainage from the eye can indicate a serious infection or complication following surgery. Immediate medical evaluation and intervention are necessary to prevent further complications and ensure proper treatment.
Choice D rationale
Instilling an antibiotic solution in both eyes may be part of the treatment plan for an infection. However, the nurse should first notify the surgeon to get appropriate orders and ensure that the correct antibiotic and treatment plan are followed.
Correct Answer is C
Explanation
Choice A rationale
White drainage on the eyelids is not a normal finding and should be reported to the surgeon. However, this is not a standard discharge instruction but rather a sign of potential infection.
Choice B rationale
Sleeping on the abdomen is not recommended after cataract surgery as it can increase pressure on the eye and disrupt healing. Patients are usually advised to sleep on their back or the unaffected side.
Choice C rationale
Avoiding lifting anything heavier than 4.5 kg (10 lb) for 1 week is a standard instruction to prevent increased intraocular pressure and ensure proper healing of the surgical site.
Choice D rationale
Bending at the waist to pick up objects can increase intraocular pressure and should be avoided. Patients are advised to bend at the knees instead.
