A nurse preparing to examine a client├âãÆ├é┬ó├â┬ó├óÔé¼┼í├é┬¼├â┬ó├óÔé¼┼¥├é┬ós eyes plans to perform a confrontation test. The nurse tells the client that this test measures which aspect of vision?

The correct answer is D: Peripheral vision. The confrontation test is a gross measure of peripheral vision. It compares the client├âãÆ├é┬ó├â┬ó├óÔé¼┼í├é┬¼├â┬ó├óÔé¼┼¥├é┬ós peripheral vision with the nurse├âãÆ├é┬ó├â┬ó├óÔé¼┼í├é┬¼├â┬ó├óÔé¼┼¥├é┬ós, assuming that the nurse├âãÆ├é┬ó├â┬ó├óÔé¼┼í├é┬¼├â┬ó├óÔé¼┼¥├é┬ós vision is normal. During the test, the nurse positions themselves at eye level with the client, about 2 feet away, and directs the client to cover one eye with an opaque card. The nurse covers the eye opposite the client├âãÆ├é┬ó├â┬ó├óÔé¼┼í├é┬¼├â┬ó├óÔé¼┼¥├é┬ós covered one and slowly moves a target (like a pencil) from the periphery in several directions. The client is asked to indicate when they see the target, which should coincide with when the nurse sees it. Near vision is tested using a handheld vision screener with various sizes of print, color vision with the Ishihara test, and distant vision with a Snellen chart. Therefore, choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not measure peripheral vision, which is the focus of the confrontation test.
