Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Bipolar cautery, a bipolar eraser pencil, or spear-shaped sponges are used to maintain hemostasis during an ophthalmic procedure.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Postoperative care is very important after eye surgery. The patient must not do anything to increase IOP such as bending over, lifting, or coughing because they may rupture the suture line. The patient should take measures to prevent falls and injury. They should also report any swelling, extreme pain, redness, or discharge to the surgeon.
