When teaching the client about the effects of a miotic medication, the nurse plans to tell the client that the medication will:
 
  1. Reshape the lens to eliminate blurred vision.
  2. Interrupt the drainage of aqueous humor from the eye.
  3. Dilate the pupil to reduce intraocular pressure.
  4. Lower intraocular pressure and improve blood flow to the retina.

Rationale: Miotics are used to lower the intraocular pressure, which then increases blood flow to the retina. This in turn decreases retinal damage and loss of vision. Miotics cause a contraction or constriction of the ciliary muscle and widen the trabecular meshwork. The other options are incorrect.
