The primary health care provider prescribes patching for a child with amblyopia of the right eye, and the nurse instructs the parent regarding this procedure. What would the nurse include in the instructions?

A. Place the patch on the right eye for several hours daily would not be effective for treating amblyopia. The goal of patching is to encourage the use of the weaker (lazy) eye, so the good eye (left) must be patched. B. Place the patch on the left eye for several hours daily is the correct approach to treat amblyopia, as it forces the right (weaker) eye to work and improve visual acuity. C. Place the patch on the right eye for one hour daily would not effectively treat the amblyopia in the left eye, as it focuses on the wrong eye. D. Alternate the patch from the right to the left eye hourly is not typically done. Consistent patching of the stronger (left) eye is recommended.
