What instruction should the nurse include in the discharge teaching plan
of a client who had a cataract extraction today?
a. Sexual activities may be resumed upon return home
b. Light housekeeping is permitted but avoid heavy lifting
c. Use a metal eye shield on operative eye during the day
d. Administer eye ointment before applying eye drops

Respuesta :

Answer:

option B

Explanation:

Cloudiness of the lens of the eye is called the cataract. It can affect both the eye on the same time or only one.

Some cataract postoperative instructions are given to the patient which include

- The avoidance of heavy lifting material

- Avoid alcohol intake instructed by the health care professional.

- Avoid driving for 24 hours.

- Do not rub the eye and also use eye drops

- for eye protection wear protective shield.  

Answer:

D.

Explanation:

I think the nurse should include this instruction in the discharge teaching plan:

Administer eye ointment before applying eye drops.

Because applying metal shield on the operated eye can harm the eyes while the other two instructions are not related to this topic at all
