A Incorrect. The role of the nurse who is working with a child who is color blind is not mainly helping the caregivers and teachers find corrective resources.
B Correct. The role of the nurse who is working with a child who is color blind, as well as the child's family and teachers, is mainly one of teaching and encouraging the use of other ways to discriminate colors. Examples include learning the order of lights on traffic signals or to be observant for warning signs that may have a flashing light associated with them (railroad crossing, school crossing walk).
C Incorrect. The role of the nurse who is working with a child who is color blind is not mainly getting the child and everyone involved to accept the fact that this child has a deficit. Color blindness is not disabling. Often it is just a social inconvenience, although it may affect school performance in which color is a learning tool.
D Incorrect. The role of the nurse is not mainly forcing the family and teaching team to make accommodations for the child.
