Question 1 of 5
A nurse in an ophthalmology clinic is interviewing a client who was referred by his primary care provider for suspicion of cataracts. The nurse should expect the client to report:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Having a decreased ability to perceive colors. Cataracts are characterized by a clouding of the eye's lens, leading to reduced color perception. This occurs because the lens becomes less transparent, impacting the ability to see colors clearly.
Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they are more indicative of other eye conditions such as glaucoma (B - loss of peripheral vision), retinal detachment (C - bright flashes of light and floaters), and macular degeneration (D - loss of central vision).
Therefore, based on the symptoms described in the question, the most likely complaint from a client with cataracts would be a decreased ability to perceive colors due to the clouding of the lens.
