Answer to Question 1

D
To visualize internal eye structures, the nurse uses an ophthalmoscope to focus on the red reflex.
To evaluate the lower eyelids, the nurse asks the client to open the eyes for inspection. A syringe and sterile water are not necessary for this assessment.
The lacrimal apparatus is best assessed by inspecting for edema and redness and palpating it gen-tly to detect tenderness. Normally it cannot be felt.
Accommodation is tested by asking the client to gaze at a distant object and then at a test object held by the nurse approximately 10 cm from the client's nose. The pupils normally converge and accommodate by constricting when looking at close objects.

Answer to Question 2

D

Feedback
A Nonsterile gloves are adequate in this instance.
B Fluids are encouraged so the patient will be more likely to be able to void.
C The specimen should be collected in a sterile container and then placed into a plastic specimen bag.
D To collect a clean-voided specimen, the nurse should collect the specimen (30 to 60 mL) after the initial stream of urine has passed.
