The nurse is caring for a newborn and knows that his vision, unlike his hearing, is not fully developed. Which aspect of the child's vision may be similar to his father's vision?
A) Poor color detection
B) Visual acuity of 20/100
C) Nearsightedness
D) Monocular vision
B
Response:
If the child's father has lost visual acuity, he and his new son could possibly have the same 20/100 vision. Poor color detection, nearsightedness, and monocular vision are characteristic of newborns and result from their lack of development.
