The nurse is administrating eardrops that have been refrigerated. Which action by the nurse is
correct before administering the drops? 1) Leave the drops in the refrigerator until use. 2) Heat
the chilled solution for 10 seconds in the microwave. 3) Soak the bottle for 60 seconds in a
container of very hot water. 4) Take the drops out of the refrigerator 1 hour before the dose is
due.
The correct answer is:
4) Take the drops out of the refrigerator 1 hour before the dose is due.
Rationale: Cold eardrops can cause dizziness or vertigo when administered, especially in
children or older adults. Allowing the drops to come to room temperature naturally (usually
about 30–60 minutes before use) is the safest and most effective method. Heating in a microwave
or soaking in very hot water may damage the medication or make it unsafe.
The nurse is administering antibiotic eyedrops to a patient for the first time. After the first drop is
given, the patient states, "That eyedrop is making my eye sting! Is that normal?" Which is the
best response by the nurse? 1) "That's unusual. Let me rinse the medication from your eye." 2)
"Sometimes these eyedrops may cause burning and stinging, but it should go away soon." 3)
"These may be serious side effects, so I will notify your doctor before the next dose is due." 4)
"Let's wait and see if these effects happen the next time you receive these drops."
The correct answer is:
2) "Sometimes these eyedrops may cause burning and stinging, but it should go away
soon."
