A visual field test is performed on a client to test peripheral visual acuity. The nurse finds that the client's angle of recognition of the test object is decreased in two of the four quadrants
The appropriate response of the nurse should be to: 1. Refer for further testing.
2. Document it is a normal test result.
3. Repeat the test.
4. Repeat the test with the client's glasses on.
Refer for further testing.
Rationale: If any visual field defects are noted, the client should be sent for sophisticated visual field testing. The degree of angle recognition must approximate normal degrees for all four quadrants to be documented as normal results. The test does not need to be repeated if administered correctly. The client's glasses should be off because the glasses frame may interfere with the field of vision.
