Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Begin by testing the client while they are wearing glasses
Rationale:
When assessing visual acuity, the nurse should first test the client while they are wearing their glasses or corrective lenses. This approach evaluates how well the client can see with their usual correction, which is essential for determining any changes in vision or the need for an updated prescription. If the client is unable to read the required lines even with their glasses, it may indicate a more significant vision problem.
