The RN (registered nurse) supervises nursing care administered at a nursing home. A patient is ordered by the doctor to receive a tonometry exam. The RN calls to schedule the appointment with the ophthalmologist’s office and receives four different appointment times. Which of the following times would be BEST for this patient’s exam?

A 9:00am.

explanation

The earliest time is best because eye pressure (which tonometry measures) is highest in the morning. A later time may give a false negative reading.
