The nurse is checking on a client who is up in a chair and is reading the morning newspaper. The nurse should plan to assess the client for presbyopia because the client:
1. holds the paper away from his body.
2. brings the paper closer to his face.
3. decreases blinking.
4. has increased tearing of his eyes.
Answer: 1
1. Presbyopia is in the inability to see nearby objects, and is seen in the older client. Typically, the client attempts to hold the paper out from his body to see better.
2. Bringing the paper close would indicate the client sees better up close.
3. Not blinking very often is not a sign of presbyopia.
4. Tearing in the eyes is not characteristic of presbyopia.
