Question 1 of 5
When shown an Amsler grid,the client reports seeing wavy distorted lines. The client also states his center of vision is dark and he has no sense of depth perception. The nurse suspects the client has which of the following conditions?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Macular degeneration. The symptoms described, such as seeing wavy distorted lines on the Amsler grid, dark center of vision, and loss of depth perception, are classic signs of macular degeneration. This condition affects the macula, the central part of the retina responsible for sharp, central vision. The distortion in vision results from damage to the macula, leading to visual disturbances. Cataracts (
A) cause clouding of the lens but do not typically result in these specific symptoms. Glaucoma (
B) is characterized by increased intraocular pressure and affects peripheral vision, not central vision. Retinal detachment (
D) involves detachment of the retina from its underlying tissue and presents with sudden onset of floaters or flashes of light, not the described symptoms.
