A nurse is caring for a client who is scheduled for surgery for a detached retina. Which goal of surgery identified by the client indicates that the preoperative teaching was effective?

ExplanationD. Scar formation seals the hole and promotes attachment of the two retinal surfaces. A. The retina is part of the nervous system; it does not regenerate or grow new cells. B. The sclera is not involved; the retina adjoins and is nourished by the choroid. C. This is not the treatment used; treatment includes the formation of a scar by the use of lasers or surgical “buckling.”
