Which of the following activities would be included in taking care of a client's artificial eye?
1. Apply lubricant.
2. Clean regularly.
3. Drape the client.
4. Firmly pat dry.
Correct Answer: 2
Rationale: The eye and orbit should be cleaned regularly to remove any exudates that may be present. A lubricant is not necessary as it could cause damage to the prosthesis. Draping the client is not necessary, but providing privacy by pulling the curtain or shutting the door to the room may make the client more comfortable. The area should be gently dried once cleaned, but firmly patting dry may cause damage.
