Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
After the hand blanches in an Allen's test, when the nurse releases the pressure, normal color should return within 10 seconds. This patient's findings were normal, so the nurse should document the results and continue with the assessment. The other actions are not needed.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
To prevent cross contamination, the healthy eye is examined before the diseased eye.
