The client is being discharged from the ambulatory care unit following cataract removal.
The nurse provides instructions regarding home care.
Which of the following, if stated by the client, indicates an understanding of the instructions?

Choice A rationale

Vigorous coughing or nose blowing increases pressure in the middle ear, potentially dislodging the stapes prosthesis, interfering with healing, and increasing risk of complications like vertigo or auditory damage.

Choice B rationale

Packing with dry dressing is contraindicated because it may trap moisture and increase infection risk. If drainage occurs, sterile measures are taken to assess and manage infection without creating ideal conditions for pathogens.

Choice C rationale

Irrigation of the ear canal risks introducing pathogens or disrupting the surgical area. Post-surgery, maintaining a dry environment helps reduce infection and promote proper healing.

Choice D rationale

Though bedrest may be recommended initially, prolonged immobility isn't essential unless specific complications arise. Movement minimizes risks of clot formation and encourages circulation, aiding recovery.

Choice A rationale

The frontal lobe controls executive functions like reasoning and planning, not object identification errors. Damage here leads to issues with decision-making and voluntary movement, not misidentification of objects.

Choice B rationale

The temporal lobe processes auditory information and object recognition. Injury disrupts the brain's ability to associate visual stimuli with correct labels, causing errors like calling a pen "a key.”.

Choice C rationale

The parietal lobe processes sensory information related to touch, pain, and spatial awareness. Damage causes difficulty with spatial relations and perception but doesn't typically involve visual misidentification.

Choice D rationale

The occipital lobe handles visual processing. Damage affects vision or visual interpretation but does not impair the recognition or labeling of objects directly.
