A person is hospitalised with blunt trauma to the left eye. What can the nurse do to minimise eye movement?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Providing an eye shield or patch for both eyes helps to minimise eye movement and protect the affected eye from further injury. Patching the unaffected eye can cause the person to move their head or eyes more, which can exacerbate the injury. Having the person lay flat or in a side lying position may not necessarily minimise eye movement.
