Answer to Question 1

1
In Bell's palsy, the eyelids do not close, and eye drops are used to keep the eye lubricated. Eye drops are not used because the eye does not make tears. Eye drops are not used to flush the eye. Eye drops will be prescribed. The physician does not need to be notified.

Answer to Question 2

Beautifully done Thanks
