Question 1 of 5
When performing the confrontation test to assess peripheral vision, what action should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: When performing the confrontation test to assess peripheral vision, the nurse should position at eye level with the client, cover one eye, and have the client cover the opposite eye. This approach allows the examiner to bring a small object into the visual field to evaluate the client's peripheral vision. The test aims to compare the client's peripheral vision with the examiner's vision to identify any visual field deficits.
Choices A, B, and C are incorrect.
Choice A pertains to testing color vision, which is not part of the confrontation test.
Choice B describes a different procedure that involves advancing a target midline between the client and examiner, not the correct approach for the confrontation test.
Choice C is inaccurate as it fails to include the essential step of positioning at eye level with the client, making it an incorrect representation of the confrontation test.
