Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. Expulsion of water does not address the underlying issue.
B. Lowering the height of the solution container can help reduce the force of the fluid entering the colon, which may lessen cramping. This method slows the flow rate of the solution, allowing the client's body to adjust without stopping the procedure entirely.
C. Bearing down (straining) may increase the discomfort and is not recommended during the administration of an enema. It could potentially lead to rectal trauma or increase intrarectal pressure, which is not beneficial during the procedure.

D. While stopping the procedure is an option if the client is unable to tolerate it due to severe discomfort or distress, in this scenario where cramping is the main issue, allowing the client to expel some fluid is more appropriate before deciding to stop the procedure.

A. "Keep your eye open for 30 sec after instilling the ointment." B. "Apply the ointment in a thin line into the conjunctival sac." C. "Always wipe from the outer to the inner canthus when wiping away secretions." D. "Use a sterile glove and applicator to apply the antibiotic ointment."

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. This statement is incorrect because after instilling ointment, the client should close their eye gently and avoid blinking to allow the ointment to spread over the conjunctival sac.
B. When applying ophthalmic ointment, the client should pull down the lower eyelid to create a small pocket (conjunctival sac) and then apply a thin line of ointment along this pocket. This method helps the ointment distribute evenly over the affected area.
C. While this is a correct technique for cleaning around the eye, it is not directly related to the application of ophthalmic ointment.
D. This statement is unnecessary and may confuse the client. It's typically not required to use sterile gloves for applying ophthalmic ointment, and most ointments come with a sterile applicator or can be applied using clean hands if instructed to do so by a healthcare provider.
