Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Teach all patients about proper eye care, including the importance of not sharing makeup and towels, avoiding rubbing or scratching the eyes, and preventing trauma and infection. Rubbing the eyes may further cause trauma or injury. Prescribed medications must be taken as long as ordered.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Flashes of light, floaters, or the sensation of a curtain being drawn over the eye are indicators of retinal detachment. Conjunctivitis presents with pain, redness, and possible discharge. A sty would demonstrate swelling and tenderness. Cataracts manifest with opacity of the eye.
