HESI LPN EXIT TEST 11 PROCTORED EXAM
The practical nurse (PN) is reviewing instructions for the use of pilocarpine eye drops with a client who has glaucoma. The client states, "I should use these drops to anesthetize my eye if I experience eye pain." Which action should the PN implement?
Explanation & Rationale
A. Documenting the client's understanding is important, but correcting the misconception about the use of the eye drops is the immediate priority. B. Reminding the client about the intended action of the eye drops helps clarify their purpose in managing glaucoma by reducing intraocular pressure. C. Assessing the intensity of eye pain using a numerical pain scale might not be necessary in this context as the client's misconception about the eye drops needs correction. D . Clarifying that eye pain in glaucoma is uncommon does not address the client's misunderstanding about the purpose of the pilocarpine eye drops.
