The nurse is giving home care instructions to a client who just had a cataract removed and an intraocular lens implanted. What should the nurse tell the client
A. Don’t sleep on the operated side.
B. Wear the eye shield continuously for 2 weeks.
C. Aspirin may be taken for mild pain.
D. Straining during bowel movements is allowe
参考答案:A
解析:Postoperative cataract clients should avoid sleeping on the operated side as well as lifting heavy objects or straining, all of which could cause bleeding in the eye. Aspirin, due to its anticoagulant properties, should be avoided for the same reason. An eye shield is worn continuously for the first 24 hours postoperatively. Straining during a bowel movement should be avoided because it increases intraocular pressure.
