Which of the following would be evidence of successful preoperative instruction for a client scheduled for cataract surgery?
1. The client states the need to return to activity as soon as possible.
2. The client demonstrates the application of eye drops.
3. The client tells the nurse that itching and tearing are not expected and that the physician should be notified.
4. The client states that the surgery is considered major and a hospitalization is required.
2. The client demonstrates the application of eye drops.
Rationale:
Evidence of successful preoperative instruction for a client scheduled for cataract surgery would be the client demonstrating the application of eye drops. The client should not return to normal activity as soon as possible. Itching and tearing are normal for some clients, and the client does not need to phone the physician. Cataract surgery is not considered major surgery but rather out-patient surgery that does not necessitate a hospitalization.
