Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: Timolol (Timoptic) eyedrops may be absorbed systemically, so the client should discuss use of and OTC preparation with the physician prior to use.
Rationale 2: Refrigeration is not necessary for timolol (Timoptic) eyedrops.
Rationale 3: There is no need to reduce caffeine when a client uses timolol (Timoptic) eyedrops.
