Question: 1 of 47Ati 0926 med surg proctored exam
A nurse is providing postoperative teaching to a client who is scheduled for cataract surgery. Which of the following information should the nurse include?
Explanation
A. Warm compresses are not recommended after cataract surgery. The usual teaching involves avoiding pressure, heavy lifting, or bending, not applying compresses. B. Mild redness or bloodshot appearance is expected after cataract surgery and usually resolves within a few days. This does not require reporting unless accompanied by severe pain, sudden vision loss, or purulent drainage. C. Sensitivity to light and mild discomfort are expected findings for a couple of days postoperatively as the eye heals. D. Vision typically improves gradually over several days to weeks as the eye heals, not immediately on the day of surgery.
