A client is brought into the emergency room with sudden severe complaints of eye pain, blurred and decreased visual acuity, and extreme pressure in their eyes. The nurse would most likely suspect the client to have:

Choice A reason: Bright light sensitivity is a common side effect following cataract surgery and can be managed with appropriate measures such as wearing sunglasses. It does not necessarily indicate a complication requiring immediate reporting.

Choice B reason: Difficulty seeing with a patch on one eye and fear of falling are valid concerns, but they do not necessarily indicate an immediate complication that requires urgent reporting to the healthcare provider.

Choice C reason: Eye itching is common after cataract surgery, and the client should be advised not to rub the eye to prevent infection or damage. This comment does not indicate a severe complication that needs immediate reporting.

Choice D reason: Severe eye pain that the client cannot stand is a potential sign of a serious complication, such as increased intraocular pressure, infection, or other postoperative issues. This requires immediate attention from the healthcare provider to prevent further complications and ensure the client's safety.

Choice A reason: Administering an extra dose of albuterol before bedtime is not appropriate. The correct approach is to manage bronchial secretions through other means, such as hydration.

Choice B reason: Using a dehumidifier is not recommended for clients with respiratory issues. A humidifier, not a dehumidifier, helps keep the air moist and can help with secretions.

Choice C reason: Increasing the amount of fluids consumed helps to thin bronchial secretions, making them easier to cough up. Hydration is an effective method to manage secretions and improve respiratory function.

Choice D reason: Increasing daily exercise can be beneficial for overall health but is not the primary method to clear bronchial secretions. Hydration is more directly effective in this situation.
