Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
To prevent infection, antibiotics are provided. Visual acuity in the affected eye cannot be assessed. The client may or may not need enucleation. The object is only removed by the ophthalmologist.

Sunglasses are needed to prevent the development of cataracts in addition to the RP. The other statements are accurate.
