Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing the visual acuity of a client who wears glasses using a Snellen chart. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Begin by testing the client while they are wearing glasses. This is the correct action because when assessing visual acuity using a Snellen chart for a client who wears glasses, it is important to first test their vision with the glasses on to determine the effectiveness of the current prescription. This provides a baseline for comparison and helps identify any potential issues with the current eyewear. It also ensures that the client is being assessed under their usual visual conditions.
Positioning the client 3.3 m (10 feet) away from the chart (Option
A) is a standard distance for Snellen chart assessments but not specific to clients wearing glasses. Documenting the largest line the client can read on the chart (Option
B) is not the most appropriate action as it does not consider the impact of glasses on visual acuity. Instructing the client to begin the assessment with both eyes open (Option
C) is a general instruction and does not address the use of glasses.
