Answer to Question 1

b

Answer to Question 2

A
The nurse should explain that the drug is used to dilate the pupils and that the patient may now experience sensitivity to sunlight.
The anticholinergic effects cause dilation of the pupil, not constriction.
The dilation of the pupils results in photophobia, not skin sensitivity to sunlight.
The drug dilates the pupils; it does not constrict them. It will not cause reddening of the eyelids.
