A client is recovering from the surgical removal of glass in the right eye. Which intervention should the nurse implement immediately following the procedure?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
The correct answer is C because an eye shield protects the surgical site from trauma and infection, which is critical immediately post-procedure. Choice A is unrelated to eye surgery. Choice B is routine but not immediate. Choice D is important for ongoing care but not the priority.
