Practice Question
A nurse is caring for a client who has vison loss. Which of the following actions should the nurse take? (Select all that apply.)
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Allow extra time for the client to perform tasks.
Rationale:
✅ Allow extra time for the client to perform tasks
📌Clients with vision loss may move more slowly as they rely on touch, memory, and residual vision to complete activities of daily living.
📌Allowing extra time respects their independence and dignity, avoiding unnecessary frustration.
📌Rushing a visually impaired client increases risk of accidents and injuries because they may misjudge distances or miss obstacles.
📌Patience from the nurse also helps reduce anxiety and promotes confidence in performing tasks safely.
✅ Ensure there is high-wattage lighting in the client’s room
📌Adequate lighting enhances visibility for clients with partial vision, helping them make the most of their remaining sight.
📌Bright, well-distributed light improves safety during walking, self-care, or medication administration.
📌Poor lighting increases risk of falls, errors, and dependence on others.
📌The nurse should ensure the room has consistent, glare-free illumination, which is especially helpful in areas like the bathroom or near the bed.
✅ Keep objects in the client’s room in the same place
📌Consistency in the arrangement of furniture and personal items allows the client to navigate confidently using memory and touch.
📌Moving objects unexpectedly can cause disorientation, increase fall risk, and create unnecessary dependence on caregivers.
📌Keeping items like the call bell, water, and personal belongings in predictable spots promotes safety, autonomy, and comfort.
📌This intervention also supports the client’s ability to carry out daily routines with minimal assistance.
