Acute pain related to inflammation of the conjunctiva, edema
Expected outcomes:
Interventions:
1. Assess the level of pain experienced by the patient.
Rationale: to determine the selection of appropriate interventions.
2. Encourage the patient for pain distraction methods, such as deep breathing and regular.
Rationale: Useful in further intervention.
3. Compress the edge of the eyelid (eyes are closed) with saline solution for approximately 3 minutes.
Rationale: release a sticky exudate on the edge of the eyelid.
4. Wipe exudate, slowly.
Rationale: cleaning the eyelid of exudate without causing pain and minimize the spread of microorganisms.
5. Encourage clients to use glasses (dark).
Rationale: in clients with photophobia, dark glasses can reduce light entering the eye so that light sensitivity decreases. In allergic conjunctivitis, the glasses can reduce exposure to allergens or prevent environmental irritants.
6. Collaboration in the provision of antibiotics and analgesics.
Rationale: accelerating the healing of conjunctivitis and prevent secondary infection of viral conjunctivitis. Eye drops given at noon and given eye ointment at night to reduce the stickiness of eyelids at noon. Analgesics are used to reduce pain.
