➤ How should nurses teach patients to administer timolol to reduce systemic absorption?
Have patients tilt the head back, pull down the lower eyelid, and place one drop in the conjunctival sac. Instruct them to occlude the nasolacrimal duct with gentle pressure for 60–120 seconds. Recommend waiting five minutes between different eye medicines and removing contact lenses if advised to limit systemic uptake.
