Answer to Question 1

2

Rationale: Cyclopentolate is used for preoperative mydriasis. It is a rapid-acting mydriatic and cycloplegic medication. It becomes effective in 25 to 75 minutes, and the effects last for 6 to 24 hours. Lubricate the affected eye, promote miosis of the affected eye, and constrict the pupil of the affected eye are not actions of this medication.

Answer to Question 2

3

Rationale: The incident report should contain the client's name, age, and diagnosis. It should contain a factual description of the incident, any injuries experienced by those involved, and the outcome of the situation. The client was found lying on the floor is the only option that de-scribes the facts as observed by the nurse. The client fell out of bed, the client climbed over the side rails, and the client became restless and tried to get out of bed are interpretations of the situation and are not factual data as observed by the nurse.
