The nurse is performing a vision screening for a 4-year-old child. Which of the following screening charts would be best for determining the child's visual acuity?
A) Snellen
B) Ishihara
C) Allen figures
D) Color Vision Testing Made Easy (CVTME)
C
Feedback:
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.
