NCLEX Questions on Sensory Perception Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse reviews the chart of the client diagnosed with closed-angle glaucoma. Which documented finding should the nurse question with the HCP?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Closed-angle glaucoma causes an increased, not normal, intraocular pressure. This documentation finding should be questioned. Sudden eye pain, reduced central visual acuity, and nausea and vomiting are consistent with closed-angle glaucoma.
Question 2 of 5
An adult client is admitted for removal of a cataract from her right eye. Which of the following would the client likely have experienced as a result of the cataracts?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Cataracts cause gradual blurring of vision due to lens opacity, not acute pain, itching, or headaches.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse telephones the client 1 day post-cataract surgery. Which client statement necessitates an evaluation by an ophthalmologist?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A significant reduction in vision may indicate a complication such as infection or retinal detachment. Pain relieved by prescribed pain medication is within normal assessment parameters. Decreasing redness is within normal assessment parameters. No swelling is within normal assessment parameters.

Question 5 of 5
The 65-year-old male client who is complaining of blurred vision reports he thinks his glasses need to be cleaned all the time, and he denies any type of eye pain. Which eye disorder should the nurse suspect the client has?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Blurred vision and a sense of dirty glasses without pain suggest cataracts, common in older adults. Corneal dystrophy is rarer, conjunctivitis causes redness, and diabetic retinopathy involves floaters or spots.
