A nurse caring for a client who had a right-sided stroke and is exhibiting homonymous hemianopsia when eating. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct answer
D
Rationale
Homonymous hemianopsia causes loss of one visual field, so reminding the client to scan the left side of the tray compensates for the deficit. Other options do not address the visual impairment.
