Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Proparacaine is a commonly used agent to provide anesthetic. One drop is instilled in the affected eye prior to removing the foreign body. Cortisporin ointment would not routinely be administered before foreign body removal. Cephalosporin is not administered. Atropine eye drops are not administered for this purpose.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Nonadherence to antibiotic therapy can result in a continuation or exacerbation of the infection. Poor hygiene is a risk factor for the development of infection but is less likely to perpetuate an existing infection that is being treated appropriately with antibiotics. Herbs may be contraindicated but are unlikely to negate the therapeutic effects of an antibiotic. The nurse should gauge the patient's understanding of his illness, but this does not have a bearing on his lack of improvement.
