Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The Ocusert disc should be changed every 7 days once it is applied; the gel form of the drug is applied nightly.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The cycloplegic agents paralyze the ocular muscles and may cause an increase in intraocular pressure (IOP). Thus, the medication would be contraindicated for a client experiencing glaucoma.
