The client is scheduled for an eye exam. Prior to the exam the physician will put a cycloplegic drug, atropine sulfate (Isopto Atropine) eyedrops in the client's eyes. What will the nurse teach the client about these eyedrops?
1. The drugs will dilate the pupil and lubricate the eye to provide additional comfort during the examination.
2. The drops will paralyze the muscles that move the eye so that examination can take place.
3. The drops will dilate the pupil so that the physician can better visualize the retina during examination.
4. The drops dilate the pupil and paralyze the ciliary muscle to prevent the lens from moving during examination.
Question 2
A client has lice infestation of the eyelids. What instruction should the nurse provide?
1. Dilute the permethrin lotion with water before applying it to your eyelids.
2. These lice should be pulled off manually.
3. Apply a thin coat of petroleum jelly to your eyelashes once a day for a week.
4. The systemic effect of the lotion you are using on your hair will kill these lice, so no specific treatment is necessary.
