Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The loss of stereoscopic vision created by the eye patch impairs the patient's ability to see in three dimensions and to judge distances. It also increases the risk for falls. There is no evidence in the assessment data for ineffective health maintenance, disturbed body image, or ineffective denial.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The pupils are dilated using cycloplegic medications during refractometry. This effect will last several hours and cause photophobia. The other teaching would not be appropriate for a patient who was having refractometry.
