The nurse is performing a vision screening for a 4-year-old child. Which screening chart would be best for determining the child's visual acuity?
A) Snellen
B) Ishihara
C) Allen figures
D) Color Vision Testing Made Easy (CVTME)
Ans: C
The Allen figures chart is reliable for assessing visual acuity for a preschool child. The Snellen chart requires that the child has a good knowledge of the alphabet. This is not an expectation for a 4-year-old child. The Ishihara and CVTME charts are designed to assess color vision discrimination and not visual acuity.
