I have a MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015). It appears that I currently use a 60W MagSafe 2 Power Adapter. The Apple Store personnel sold me an 85W MagSafe 2 Power Adapter--I didn't have my computer with me and forgot which adapter to buy. Can I use the 85W or is it too powerful, or do I need to exchange it for a 60W adapter?
You do not need to exchange.
Using the larger adapter presents no issues whatsoever, except that it weighs a little more. It will not damage anything, and your computer will only draw what it needs (the power adapter does not somehow flood it with power). The 85W model may run cooler than the smaller model.

Hello Grant Bennet-Adler--Thank you very much for your quick response and for setting my mind at ease! And it makes sense. Thank you!
