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 is an expected finding in an eye assessment as normal eyelashes typically curve slightly outward. Eyelids blinking involuntarily (B) is a normal physiological response, but the rate mentioned is too high. Pupils (C) are normally 3 to 4 mm in diameter, not 8 to 9 mm. Corneas with an opaque appearance (D) suggest a potential issue like corneal edema.
