Question

"The client's vision is tested with a Snellen's chart. The results of the tests are documented as 20/60. The nurse interprets this as:

a. The client can read at a distance of 60 feet what a client with normal vision can read at 20 feet.
b. The client is legally blind.
c. The client's vision is normal
d. The client can read only at a distance of 20 feet what a client with normal vision can read at 60 feet."

Answer 1

A result of 20/60 on a Snellen's chart means that the client can read at a distance of 60 feet what a client with normal vision can read at 20 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

A Snellen's chart is used to test a client's vision. A result of 20/60 means that the smallest letters that the client can see at a 20-foot distance could be seen by a person with normal vision from 60 feet away. This means that the client can read at a distance of 60 feet what a client with normal vision can read at 20 feet.
