A nurse is providing discharge instructions to a 75-year-old client who had surgery to remove a cataract from her left eye. The nurse should include which of the following instructions?
  1. Use an eye shield continuously
  2. Increase fiber intake
  3. Wipe excess drainage from the outer to inner canthus
  4. Resume all activities immediately
Explanation
Answer: B - Increasing fluid and fiber intake prevents constipation, which should be avoided during the postoperative period. An eye shield is used at bedtime. Drainage is wiped from the inner to the outer canthus. Rapid movements, sneezing, coughing, and lifting objects weighing more than 5 pounds must be avoided to prevent straining.
