Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who had a right sided stroke and is exhibiting homonymous hemianopsia when eating. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Remind the client to look for food on the left side of the tray. Clients with homonymous hemianopsia have decreased vision on one side. By reminding the client to look on the left side of the tray, the nurse helps the client compensate for the visual deficit. Encouraging the use of wide grip utensils (
A) or a nonskid mat (
C) may not directly address the visual deficit. Encouraging the client to use his right hand (
D) may not be effective if the client's left visual field is affected.
