Where should the nurse instill an ophthalmic medication in a 6-year-old child?

Medicine

timofeeve [1]2 years ago

The nurse should inject ophthalmic drugs into the lower conjunctival sac of a 6 year old child. The areas where eyedrops are injected are the sclera, upper conjunctival sac, or outer canthus.

The structures surrounding the eyes and acute or chronic eye disorders are treated using eye drops and ointments. As they are supplied directly to their site of action and are consequently more effective than drugs taken orally, they constitute the cornerstone of treatment for eye illness.

Topical eye treatment must be given the same priority as medications that are taken systemically in order for patients to get the most therapeutic benefit.

In order to properly administer topical medications, nurses, patients, and caregivers must have a solid awareness of their therapeutic effects and any potential side effects.

Applying eye drops and ointment is advised:

  • At the right moment
  • with the right force
  • over the right path
  • to the right person
  • into the right eye

dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

c. The abnormality is in the thyroid gland itself.

Explanation:

Primary hypothyroidism arises from a pathology in the thyroid gland itself and occurs when the thyroid gland is not able to perform one of its many physiology. Secondary hypothyroidism starts at the level of the pituitary gland and results from under secretion of TSH. TSH is needed to trigger the release of the T3 and T4 stored in the thyroid gland. Tertiary hypothyroidism is caused by a decrease level of the TRH from the hypothalamus. This reduced level, in turn, reduces TSH and thyroid hormone levels in the blood, hence in the body and the patient suffer the symptoms.
