Answer to Question 1

Answer: B

The nurse should instruct the client to not bend to pick up objects. The client may experience mild to moderate discomfort and some fluid discharge, which will subside within 12 days, but the healthcare provider does not need to be phoned. The client should wear eye protection as ordered and not just on the day of surgery. Healing will be complete within 78 weeks.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B

Floaters noted in the client's field of vision are a symptom of retinal detachment. Other symptoms are associated with additional eye injuries, but not retinal detachment.
