Answer to Question 1

2

Rationale:
Pressure is applied to the inner canthus to prevent systemic absorption of the drops during administration and for at least 30 seconds following instillation. Medication is dropped into the lower conjunctival sac and should not be rubbed after instillation. The time between drops is one to five minutes depending on the type of medication.

Answer to Question 2

3. What types of therapies are of interest to you?

Rationale:
Alternative and complementary therapies are used by many women to manage the manifestations associated with menopause. The nurse has a responsibility to collect data from the client. The nurse will need to determine which types of therapies are of interest to the client. The success of these remedies varies by user. It is inappropriate for the nurse to meet the client's request with negativity. Clients using alternative therapies are asked to report them to their physicians. This is not, however, the initial step for this scenario.
