A patient comes into your care and states, “It feels like something is stuck in my eye.” He notes that he started to feel it through his shift at work. He tells you that he works in a warehouse, operating a forklift, and when he was moving boxes, there was a lot of dust and it hit his eye. He states, “I know that I’m supposed to wear safety glasses, but those things just fog up and its harder to see.” On assessment, his right eye is noted to be erythematous and tearful. He complains of not being able to open the eye as it hurts to open the eye. His medical history indicates diabetes (type 2) and hypertension. He takes metformin 500mg PO BID and amlodipine 10mg PO daily. He has no known allergies. 1. During your assessment, what should be your main focus? 2.

What would be your discharge teaching to this gentleman?
