Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Baby shampoo is used to soften and remove crusts associated with blepharitis. The other interventions are not used in treating this disorder.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The lenses are prescribed to correct the patient's near and distant vision. The nurse may also assess for cloudiness of the lenses, increased intraocular pressure, and eye movement, but these data do not evaluate whether the patient's bifocals are effective.
