Following laser trabeculoplasty surgery for open-angle glaucoma, the client reports acute pain deep within the eye. Which action should the nurse take?

A. Applying eye shields may help with comfort but does not address the acute pain being reported. B. Prophylactic antibiotics are not routinely administered after this procedure unless there are specific indications for infection risk. C. Reporting the complaint of acute eye pain to the surgeon is crucial, as it may indicate complications such as increased intraocular pressure or other postoperative issues requiring further assessment. D. Administering an antiemetic is unnecessary if the primary concern is acute pain in the eye and not nausea or vomiting.
