adenovirus, healthcare facilities must set aside specified areas
for treating patients diagnosed with or suspected of having
conjunctivitis caused by adenovirus. Antibiotics and saline
flushes are ineffective and normally no need to perform testing
of individuals lacking symptoms.

20). A patient has just returned to the surgical floor after
undergoing a retinal detachment repair. The postoperative
orders specify that the patient should be kept in a prone
position until otherwise ordered. What should the nurse do?
A) Call the physician and ask for the order to be confirmed.
B) Follow the order because this position will help keep the
retinal repair intact.
C) Instruct the patient to maintain this position to prevent
bleeding.
D) Reposition the patient after the first dressing change.

B) Follow the order because this position will help keep the
retinal repair intact.
Feedback:
For pneumatic retinopexy, postoperative positioning of the
patient is critical because the injected bubble must float into a
position overlying the area of detachment, providing consistent
pressure to reattach the sensory retina. The patient must
maintain a prone position that would allow the gas bubble to
act as a tamponade for the retinal break. Patients and family
members should be made aware of these special needs
beforehand so that the patient can be made as comfortable as
possible. It would be inappropriate to deviate from this order
and there is no obvious need to confirm the order.

A) Reassure the patient that this is an age-related change in
vision.
B) Arrange for the patient to have her visual acuity assessed.
C) Arrange for the patient to be assessed for macular
degeneration.
D) Facilitate tonometry testing.
Correct answers
C) Arrange for the patient to be assessed for macular
degeneration.
Feedback:
The Amsler grid is a test often used for patients with macular
problems, such as macular degeneration. Distortions would not
be attributed to age-related changes and there is no direct need
for testing of intraocular pressure or visual acuity.
