A nurse is assisting with the admission of an older adult client. Which of the following subjective findings suggests that the client may have cataracts?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
The correct answer is B: Cloudy vision. Cataracts cause a cloudy or blurry vision due to the clouding of the lens inside the eye. Sudden dimmed vision (A) may indicate other eye conditions. Intermittent flashes of light (C) are more commonly associated with retinal issues. Pain in the eyes (D) is not a typical symptom of cataracts.
