The nurse who is assessing the client's eyes notes that the pupil gets larger when looking at an object in the distance and gets smaller when looking at a near object. The nurse documents this finding as:
1. Myopia
2. Hyperopia
3. Photophobia
4. Accommodation
4
Rationale: Accommodation is the expected change in pupil size when changing gaze from a near object to a far one, and back again. The pupils dilate when looking at the far object and constrict when looking at the near one. Photophobia is an abnormal sensitivity to light. Myopia (nearsightedness) and hyperopia (farsightedness) are disturbances in visual acuity.
