A client tells the nurse, "It feels like there's something in my eye." To assess the eye for corneal abrasions, the examiner will first instill:
1. fluorescein sodium (Fluorescite).
2. echothiophate iodide (Phospholine Iodide).
3. azelastine (Optivar).
4. naphazoline HCL (Allerest).
Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: Fluorescein sodium is a dye that stains scratches, areas of damage, and foreign objects and provides some anesthesia.
Rationale 2: Echothiophate iodine (Phospholine Iodide) is not used to assess for corneal abrasions.
Rationale 3: Azelastine (Optivar) is not used to assess for corneal abrasions.
Rationale 4: Naphazoline HCL (Allerest) is not used to assess for corneal abrasions.
Global Rationale: Fluorescein sodium is a dye that stains scratches, areas of damage, and foreign objects and provides some anesthesia. The remaining drugs are not useful in this application.
