ANS: 1

Answer to Question 2

2. Mummies the child

Rationale:
An infant should be mummied prior to applying eye medication in order to prevent accidental injury. Applying ointment when the child is asleep would increase the child's fears. The ointment is applied to the conjunctival sac, not the lids, and is applied directly from the medication tube or vial.
