Answer to Question 1

1
Client education is extremely important in the aftercare of cataract surgery. There is a need to emphasize the postoperative care of eyedrop instillation. The client should not place any pressure near or on the eye. Postoperative instructions are highly important for the client having an outpatient surgical procedure.

Answer to Question 2

2
Glaucoma is a disease that relates to the increase of intraocular pressure. The medication given will decrease this intraocular pressure. Medication for glaucoma is not used to help dry up excess secretions, strengthen the eye muscles, or improve vision.
