A nurse is performing an eye assessment for a newly admitted client. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct answer
A
Rationale
The correct answer is A: Eyelashes that curl slightly outward. This finding is expected during an eye assessment as it indicates normal eyelash orientation. The eyelashes help protect the eyes from foreign objects. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect. B is incorrect as the normal blink rate is 15 to 20 times per minute, not 30 to 35. C is incorrect because normal pupil size is 2 to 4 mm in diameter, not 8 to 9 mm. D is incorrect as corneas should be clear, not opaque.
