Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Foreign bodies such as sand or dirt that are loose on the conjunctiva can be removed by gentle wiping with a well-moistened, sterile, cotton-tipped applicator after the eyelid is everted. Topical anesthetic, cool water, and diversion are not appropriate methods to assess for a foreign body under the upper eye lid.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Nurses can help the nation achieve the 2020 National Health Goals that focus on prevention, early detection, treatment, and rehabilitation of vision problems by reminding all patients to use personal protective eyewear in recreational activities and hazardous situations around the home. This goal will not be met by instructing patients to flush the eyes with water, use artificial tears, or cleanse the eyes with soap and warm water.
