ANS: A, B, C, D
The patient will return from the surgery with an eye patch in place. The nurse should speak
before touching the patient so the patient is not startled. The nurse should administer a
laxative to prevent straining during bowel movements. The nurse should warn the patient that
vision does not return immediately and instruct the patient to wear an eye shield at night or
when napping. This procedure does not require changing an eye patch twice daily.
