Answer to Question 1

A
To prevent edema and pressure on the operative site, the nurse should elevate the head of the bed slightly and avoid placing the child in a dependent position. The prone position is a dependent position, which is contraindicated after cataract surgery. The knee-chest position is contraindicated after cataract surgery. The right lateral Sims' position would increase pressure on the operative site.

Answer to Question 2

B
The patch should be securely applied to the face. Parents often apply the eye patch to the child's eyeglasses. Once the patch is in place, it should remain there for the prescribed number of hours. Patching alone will not straighten the eye. The amount of time the child wears the eye patch is not negotiable. Parents should learn strategies for dealing with resistant behaviors.
