The nurse teaches a patient diagnosed with Bell's Palsy about the use of an eye patch to prevent which eye complication?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
Bell's Palsy often results in incomplete eye closure, which can lead to drying and irritation of the cornea, increasing the risk for corneal abrasions. An eye patch protects the cornea by helping the eye stay moist and protected from injury.
