The 7-year-old child is being evaluated for attention deficit or learning disability. The child’s teachers report a lack of attention to detail and an inability to follow direction. The child’s parents report issues at home, too – not doing what is asked and not remembering what has been said. While being evaluated, the child begins to blink rapidly for 20 seconds. Once the episode ends, the child does not remember what happened or the purpose of the appointment. The nurse prepares education for the parents about which medication? 

The patient presents to the emergency department (ED) and states, “I don’t know what happened! I was walking and ran into a door with my right shoulder. I closed my right eye and my vision was normal, but when I closed my left eye, I couldn’t see anything at all!” The patient’s assessment is otherwise normal. The nurse reports this to the provider immediately for assessment. Which question is most important for the nurse to ask the patient while waiting for the provider to write orders for treatment?
