Practice Question
A nurse is providing instructions to a client with open-angle glaucoma about their new prescriptions for timolol and pilocarpine eye drops. Which statement by the client indicates understanding of the education?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
"I will wait at least 5 minutes between administering the first and second medication.
Rationale:
🟩 Waiting at least 5 minutes between different eye drops prevents the first medication from being diluted or washed out by the second.
🟩 This ensures proper absorption and full therapeutic effect of both timolol and pilocarpine.
🟩 Proper spacing also reduces systemic absorption, minimizing adverse effects.
🟩 This teaching demonstrates correct understanding of eye drop administration technique.
🟩 Proper sequential administration is critical in glaucoma, where maintaining intraocular pressure control is essential.
❌ Incorrect Options
🔸Administer drops to sclera: Drops should be placed in the conjunctival sac, not directly on the white of the eye.
🔸Drops with contact lenses: Contacts should be removed because they absorb medication and may cause irritation.
🔸 Hold pressure on conjunctiva: Pressure is applied to the nasolacrimal duct, not the conjunctival sac.
