Question

The client is a 72-year-old retired carpenter, Mr. Wood, who has undergone outpatient cataract surgery. He and his wife live an hour away from the surgery center, where they received discharge instructions from the nurse, including possible complications from the procedure and when it is necessary to call the emergency number. They have an appointment to return for a follow-up evaluation the next morning. That evening, the client's wife calls the on-call nurse to report that her husband has a headache and complains of sudden onset of some pain in the eye. She also states that he feels nauseated, but she thinks it is because he ate some spicy food at dinner. The client does not want his wife to drive him back at night and thinks she should not have bothered to call because they have an appointment in the morning. list other symptoms that the nurse should inquire about to check for potential complications?
