Practice Question
A nurse is assessing the visual acuity of a client who wears glasses using a Snellen chart. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Begin by testing the client while they are wearing glass
Rationale:
🟣 Visual acuity testing should be performed with corrective lenses in place to assess the client's best corrected vision, which is most relevant to daily function.
🟣 This approach helps the nurse evaluate whether the client's current prescription is adequate or if changes may be needed.
🟣 Testing without glasses is only necessary if the provider specifically wants uncorrected vision results.
🟣 The client should stand 6 meters (20 feet) from the chart, not 3 meters.
🟣 The test is done one eye at a time (with the other covered), not with both eyes open.
