Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is E,C,D,A,B

Verify the clarity and color of the eye drops. Ensuring the medication is not expired or contaminated is the first step in safe administration.
Tilt the client's head backward toward the ceiling. This position helps prevent the drops from draining out of the eye.
Pull the client's lower lid down with the nondominant hand. This creates a small pocket for the eye drops to be instilled properly.
Administer the prescribed number of drops. The medication should be placed in the conjunctival sac, not directly on the cornea.
Apply gentle pressure to the client's punctum. This prevents systemic absorption by blocking the nasolacrimal duct and reduces systemic side effects.
