Answer 1

The nurse working in the preoperative area is caring for a 65-year-old client who is scheduled to receive succinylcholine as a part of general anesthesia.

when collecting the history the nurse found the client takes timolol eye drop to treat narrow-angle glaucoma, it should be immediately notified to the anesthesiologist.

succinylcholine increases intraocular pressure so it can severely damage the eye with narrow-angle glaucoma.

Answer - D. the client takes timolol eye drop to treat narrow-angle glaucoma
