Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Asking the client how many hours the lenses are worn each day will assist the nurse in determining if the client is following the recommended wearing schedule and can provide information for the necessary care instructions. Pinching the lenses out of the client's eyes can cause damage and injury to the eyes. Removing both lenses before storing is not necessary, as only one lens is typically removed at a time for cleaning. Documenting when the lenses need to be removed and cleaned every 2 weeks is not helpful without more specific details about the care routine.
