Answer:

dilation of the pupil and loss of accommodation

Step-by-step explanation:

Mydriasis is the dilation of the pupil of the eye. The dilation causes vision to be blurry.

Cycloplegia on the other hand is the loss of accommodation of the pupil and it is caused by the paralysis of the cilliary muscle of the eye. This paralysis causes the eyes to lose its ability to focus on things nearby.

Looking at this two conditions from the administration of atropine, the expected outcome of the client is blurry vision and inability to focus or see things close by(farsightedness).

I hope this helps.
