Question

The client who had cataract surgery with a lens implant 1 week ago remarks to the home care nurse that after his daughter left to go to her home in another state yesterday, he combined all of his prescribed eye drops together in one container so he had fewer drops to administer. what is the nurse's best response

Answer 1

Please check with your doctor. This sounds very dangerous. There are several reasons this is a problem. First, all of the dosages must be correctly measured. Second, all of the dosages must be kept separate unless ordered by a physician. Please be very careful with medication and consult a doctor immediately.
