A nurse performing a right eye irrigation will position the patient:


Correct Answer: A

Choice A rationale:

The supine position with the head tilted toward the right eye allows the solution to flow away from the nose and mouth, preventing aspiration or discomfort.

Choice B rationale:

An upright position with the head tilted toward the left eye would cause the solution to flow into the nose and mouth, which could lead to aspiration or discomfort.

Choice C rationale:

An upright position with the head hyperextended would not allow for proper drainage of the solution, potentially causing discomfort or complications.

Choice D rationale:

A supine position with the head hyperextended would not allow for proper drainage of the solution, potentially causing discomfort or complications.
