     Purpose: It is part if the routine care of the newborn to give prophylactic
    eye treatment against gonorrhea conjunctivitis. Neisseria gonorrhea, the
    causative agent, may be passed on the fetus from the vaginal canal
    during delivery.
     Materials Needed: Erythromycin or Tetracycline Ophthalmic Ointment.

    2. Hold the tube in a horizontal rather than a vertical position to prevent
    injury to the eye from sudden movement.
    3. Administer from the inner canthus to the outer canthus. Do not touch the
    tip of the tube to any part of the eye, because this may spread infectious
    material from one eye to the other.
    4. Do not rinse.
    5. Ointment may be wiped from outer eye after 1 minute.
    6. Observe for irritation.
    7. Use a new tube for each infant to prevent spread of infection.
