Which is the most important information for the nurse to teach a client who is receiving cycloplegic drug therapy?
a. "Do not drive or operate machinery until the drug wears off."
b. "Use at least a 30 SPF sunscreen agent when going outdoors."
c. "Remain on bedrest for 24 hours in a prone position."
d. "Turn up the lights because acuity will be decreased in low-light environments."
A
Cycloplegic agents prevent accommodation of the iris, resulting in a widely dilated pupil. The pupil cannot accommodate to bright light, causing eye discomfort and pain. Turning up the lights will not assist the client to see more clearly. Bedrest and sunscreen are not measures needed for this drug.
