Rationale 1: Following application of Ilotycin ointment, the eyelids should be massaged gently to distribute the ointment evenly.
Rationale 2: The eyes should not be irrigated before or after instillation.
Rationale 3: The ointment is not applied with a syringe. The nurse squeezes the tube to instill the ointment into the lower conjunctival sac of each eye.
Rationale 4: The eyes should not be irrigated before or after instillation.
