    The nurse discontinues the client's patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) pump. Which response should the nurse provide to the client's request to go to the smoking area?

    Explanation & Rationale

    Choice A reason: Increased fluid in the eyes and clouding of the visual field is a concern for clients using certain types of eye drops. This information is relevant and important for the client to understand potential side effects and how to manage them. Choice B reason: Slowing of pupil response to accommodate for darkness may be a side effect of some eye drops, but it is not as immediately concerning as clouding of the visual field. Clients should be aware of changes in vision, but this information may not require as urgent instruction as other potential side effects.
